Insensitive Town

Coercion Continues

To the Editor: Everyone I’ve talked to is incensed about the parking situation in Surf City. The issue was covered in depth in last week’s SandPaper article, “Surf City Council Curbs Requests From Residents to Paint Curbs.”

The problem is that people are parking in areas in Surf City’s business district that appear legal only to find tickets on their cars when they return. Since there are no signs or other markings indicating a no-parking zone, they understandably grow angry when ticketed. They feel that they’ve been scammed; many never return to shop in Surf City again; our stores lose their business permanently.

At the last town council meeting, business representatives proposed marking no-parking zones by painting the curbs yellow, as Ship Bottom has done, a seemingly cheap and effective solution that would end most illegal parking and keep everyone happy. The request was flatly denied by Mayor Connors. Police Chief William Collins cited pages 75-76 of the New Jersey Drivers Manual, which, according to the chief, prohibits parking within 25 feet of a crosswalk. This manual is available on the Internet at this site: state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/Manuals/drivermanual.pdf. Pages 75-76, by the way, talk only about motor vehicle inspection requirements and make no mention of parking whatsoever.

It is both distressing and mystifying that the government of Surf City is indifferent and insensitive to this issue, which is of high concern to visitors, residents and business owners.

John Wright Surf City

To the Editor: Due to the demands of our summer clientele, I have been unable to respond to the Aug. 22 letter (“Easement Fallacies”) sent to me via The SandPaper by Bill Hutson, owner of Lorry’s Island End Motel in Holgate. I have never met Mr. Hutson, and I must correct his assumption that I have not read the letter he referred to as “the June 10 clarification letter (of) two years ago from the Army Corps of Engineers to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Long Beach Township Mayor Mancini,” regarding the Long Beach Island Hurricane Storm Damage Reduction Project, a.k.a. beach replenishment.

On the contrary, I not only read and understood it, I have had it reviewed legally and by several other oceanfront property owners. The words “in perpetuity” and “assignable” remain as points of contention. Under the guise of beach replenishment, the government is trying to take the most valuable part of our land. We say no to that. We continue to ask that there be a time-frame for the work to be accomplished, and once that is done we are more than willing to sign. It is our constitutional right to own our property, and we should not be threatened or coerced into this land grab.

Important Election To the Editor: My wife and I have worked the election polls in Long Beach Township for about 15 years and have seen some strange situations and some boring situations. The next election could prove to be a most interesting one. This Nov. 6 in LBT we will have the presidential election, a school election and a local election, all on the same ballot.

There will be a large selection of candidates and possibly a question or two and it is going to be a rather confusing ballot. Many voters are intimidated by the voting booth and the entire voting process. May I suggest you consider one of these options? 1) Study the sample ballot that is mailed to each registered voter by the Ocean County Board of Elections. Pre-select your candidate, mark up the sample ballot and bring it with you to the polling place as a reference; or 2) vote by absentee ballot.

Every voter is offered this option when you receive your sample ballot – you simply mail in your request for an absentee ballot.

An absentee ballot is mailed to you; you mark your selections; you mail it back. There, you have voted – it’s that simple. No need to go to your polling district, no waiting in lines, no confusion, no intimidation, no embarrassment, no kidding – it’s that easy.

The vote for this election is anticipated to be a very heavy one and that means lines could be long and voters may have to wait.

Your preparation will help make the process smoother, faster and less confusing. Regardless of how you vote or who you are voting for, I urge all registered voters to participate in this most important election.

Food Fight: Pay Attention to Proposition 37

By BILL BONVIE or many area residents and visitors, the culinary competition represented by this weekend’s Chowderfest may be a welcome antidote to all the controversy and contention that have been staples of the 2012 presidential campaign. But while the food-based festivities may seem far removed from the problems eating at our society, the question of what we’re eating is as hot-button an issue as any now being debated by the candidates.

It’s a question, in fact, that will actually appear on ballots this November – not here in New Jersey (or New York or Pennsylvania),

F

but out in California. And what that state’s voters decide is expected to profoundly impact the future of food throughout the entire country.

I’m talking about Proposition 37, the California Right To Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, which, if adopted, would require that all edible commodities containing genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, be labeled as such and would prohibit them from being referred to as “natural.”

To those who have been in any way involved in the campaign to have genetically modified (GM) foods labeled, the very fact that the citizens of a sovereign state – let alone

No Place Like LBI in September

By MICHAEL KANE here was a diner close to where I used to live that had been there as far back as I could remember. It must have opened in the 1950s when charbroiled burgers were the rage because it had this big open pit behind the counter where guys in short-sleeved white shirts with cigarettes rolled into them deftly flipped patties of beef through the air and onto the flaming grill below. When these open pits fell out of favor, the place was renovated into more of a restaurant and café. Finally, it was renovated yet again into the classic cookie-cutter Greek diner that you see these days: lots of chrome and glass, and a menu as thick as Webster’s.

I was in the diner one day a few years before I started my family, back when leisurely diner breakfasts were something that I had the time and the money for. Quickly, the place filled up with shouting, laughing, giddy women. Their sudden presence created

T

a party-like atmosphere. They were seated at tables in twos, threes and fours. I thought it odd, and could not figure out what group they might belong to. I was emboldened to ask a few of these women sitting at an adjacent table just what kind of meeting was taking place. One of them exclaimed, “It’s the first day of school!”

I thought about that morning last weekend when my wife, Alison, and I brought our two girls to the shore for a September beach trip. I thought about the end of summer and about how seldom I get the chance anymore to enjoy the magic of fall on Long Beach Island because of the hectic days that begin in the lives of young families when summer draws to a close.

I used to spend a lot of time here in September and June because I like the weather, and because I don’t like crowds. Of those two months, though, September is by far my Continued on Page 10

one considered to be the ninth largest economic entity on the planet – will have an opportunity to mandate such labeling is a watershed event in itself. If it passes, it will be akin to changing the course of a mighty river.

In that event, rather than having to create separate packaging for exclusive use in California, food companies would in all likelihood opt to label genetically altered foods for nationwide distribution. Not only would this give U.S. consumers the same right that those in more than 40 other countries, including China, already have, but is likely to result in mass rejection of commodities bearing the stamp of this untested and risky technology.

The latter has already occurred throughout Europe. In fact, it may well cause some conventional food companies to rethink the use of genetically altered ingredients altogether.

All of this is why the biotechnology lobby has joined forces with manufacturers and retailers of conventional processed foods in amassing a war chest currently estimated at more than $32 million to finance opposition to Proposition 37.

But that’s the other thing that makes this initiative so electrifying: that, in an age when corporate money has come to play such a dominant role in politics and policymaking, it represents a reaffirmation of the old-fashioned notion that the people themselves still possess the ultimate power to decide what’s best for them. By mounting a direct challenge to the despotic behavior of an out-of-control private-sector entity, this particular measure represents a rebuke to the politicians and bureaucrats who have shown themselves lacking in either the will or the ability to do so.

And nothing, perhaps, better demonstrates such political acquiescence, if not outright collusion, as the current administration’s having turned its back on a vow made in 2007 by then-Sen. Obama to “let folks know when Continued on Page 17

Continued from Page 8 favorite, and the charms of that month are brought out here on Long Beach Island in a way that surpasses September’s beauty in any other place I have ever been. Even when the weather is stormy, there is a beauty to the white foam on the black water against the stony gray sky that happens with such clarity only in September. I should really zoom it in a little farther and say that September sparkles nowhere else like it does in Barnegat Light, which is one of the truly favored spots on the planet. Some of my oldest friends are from Barnegat Light, and all of us agree that there is no place quite like it.

On our long ride down from the hills where we live most of the time, I told the girls what we might expect. I let them know that the weather forecast was good, and that we could anticipate clear skies, good waves and warm water. The Island and Barnegat Light did not disappoint, but rather put on a show for us and just dazzled.

Saturday morning, we got up early, and Alison and I struggled along on our beat-up beach bikes while the girls rode circles around us on their smart yellow beach cruisers. We went to Inlet Deli and got bagels and coffee, which we ate at the park.

We watched people reel in blowfish like I did when I was a kid and got a kick out of watching the fish blow up and grunt at us. We walked out to the end of the South Jetty, and a fisherman warned us away from slippery rocks out near the end. The sun was clear and its light was stunning. The water in the inlet glittered, and a quick tide shoved drifting fishing boats out toward the ocean. There was not a cloud in the sky, and the colors of the lighthouse were as sharply contrasted as the lines that it made against the brilliant blue sky. There were rolling, pitching and laughing sea gulls, but even more beautiful was that uniquely fall sight here on Long Beach Island – that of the swallows that visit here each year as they migrate. We lay on the sand, which was still cool from the night air, and watched hundreds of these aerobatic creatures dive and climb and make their signature midair peeps as they ate the berries that they come here in search of. We took in the smells of clean ocean water, dried mussels and musty, mossy growth on the rocks, and of bracing sea air.

I stopped on the jetty for a few minutes and laughed and chatted with a Chinese kid who agreed with me, in halting English, that sea bass were among the best-tasting fish that you could find, and just how rewarding it was to catch one. There were fishermen of all kinds out there on the rocks, and there

were strollers who ambled about at a pace that seemed more about quiet admiration than frantic fitness.

We rode back to the house, got some towels and went to the beach. The water was warm, the waves were great for riding, and we spent an afternoon backing up our chairs as the tide came in and the waves broke closer and closer to us. My mom came by and filled us in on family stories as she wriggled her feet in the sand. The girls alternately dove and body surfed, or lay on the damp sand and got painted by the sun with lighter hair and darker skin in that way that happens only to kids.

Summer was over, but September, as usual, did not disappoint. I thought about how very lucky we were to have caught everything so perfectly, and how I was able to show my girls that I am not kidding when I tell them there is no finer thing in life than to be at the seashore in September.

There is something about being at the beach that gets me to musing, although I am the kind of person who does not need to be anywhere in particular to become contemplative. From my parents, to my teachers, to my wife and kids, I have always heard my name most clearly when “Michael!” is followed by “Wake up!” I really do get some of what I consider my most quality thinking done here, though.

I thought about that old open pit burger joint because it reminded me that summer, like all things, has a shelf life. I thought about the women who were grateful that their kids were back in a place that freed them from the everyday burden of their care, and I felt grateful that I lamented summer’s expiration because it forced Alison and me to turn our kids over to the world again, against our wishes.

As we soaked in what September had to offer, I thought about how trivial the swallows and the sand, the water and the wind must consider us. All around us on that glorious late summer, early fall weekend, America and the world were clamoring and whirling over who was going to enrich plutonium, and whether the Freedom Tower was legitimately the tallest, and whether R or O was ahead in the polls. The graphics and the bright lights flashed the 90-minute news cycles across the television screens.

The pundits posited and the bullies bellowed.

And a few of us stopped in our tracks and were left breathless by God’s graceful gesture of the stunning beauty of a September seashore, and the enduring good feeling that comes with sharing it with other people who know about it and who understand.

Y Michael Kane lives in Bloomville, N.Y., and High Bar Harbor.

Even when the weather is stormy, there is a beauty to the white foam on the black water against the stony gray sky that happens with such clarity only in September.

To the Editor: I read your article titled “Mayor’s Military Service Records Resolved at Last�

(9/19) and it still left me with questions old and new.

First, did Stafford Township Mayor Spodofora serve in Vietnam, Thailand, in the waters of either or the air above during the Vietnam War? Or did he simply serve in the Navy, but in another location? If he served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, he should simply just state that fact.

It’s an honor to just serve, and we all have our place while serving, whether it’s intheater of a conict or in another outpost.

The mayor should be proud of being part of a group of men and women who make up about 7 percent of the U.S. population: those who have served and those who continue to serve. Roughly 3 percent of the population serves right now.

My father-in-law was in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korea War but didn’t land in-country. He is proud of his service, yet he is not a veteran of the Korea War, but is a veteran. My father served in-country during the Vietnam War and my two grandfathers served in the PaciďŹ c during World War II. Those men are veterans of the conicts they served in.

That leads me to ask about Mr. Boerner’s true relation with our mayor. I wonder about his ties and who he is in the whole mess.

Your article states Mr. Boerner is a Korea War veteran while never serving in Korea.

While he is a veteran in the eyes of the VA, at last check, the only way a person is

Continued from Page 8 It seems to me that Mr. Hutson has become a member of Mayor Mancini’s team by trying to place pressure on us to sign through public humiliation by use of your newspaper. After all, Mayor Mancini has even placed the names of owners who have not signed the easement document within the township on the town’s website, longbeachtownship.com. I see that as coercion.

As to the replenishment project, the experiment has been a op so far as I can see. Surf City lost most all of its pumped-in sand in that ďŹ rst winter. Ship Bottom doesn’t need it because much of Surf City’s sand washed onto our beaches. Later, pumped-in sand was lost from Brant Beach, some of the overwash added to the Ship Bottom beach during tumultuous storms. Millions of dollars are spent to pump sand, and that sand moves and disappears. Erosion will not be stopped; it is part of the ecosystem of barrier islands.

Every fall we ask that a portion of beach badge funds be used for fencing and sand to protect the dunes. Waiting for federal funds without planning and using our own resources seems like a lost opportunity to add protection. We should all be part of the same team in the matter.

Mr. Hutson’s letter shows no changes to Hexbugs ‡ Smurfs ‡ Japanese Erasers ‡ Lego www.haymarketlbi.com

considered a veteran of a conict is having served in-country, waters off said country and the airspace above.

If Mr. Boerner was considered a Korea War veteran, then I am a veteran of the Gulf War while serving in Korea, or a veteran of Afghanistan while being deployed to Germany in support (on military orders) of the same conict. I was in ight school for the Army during the Panama invasion (December 1989) yet that doesn’t make me a veteran of that operation.

As you can see, there are those who have served in a combat zone and those who have not while being enlisted during the same timeframe. I don’t walk around telling people I was in any location that my brothers and sisters died in when I wasn’t. If my duty assignments or experience come up in conversation, then I’ll answer the questions as they are asked.

It is due to the memory of those I’ve mentioned that I become disappointed in any veterans who mislead others about their service because they feel left out. Trust me, some of those who served but didn’t see combat feel left out. Believe me when I tell you that it isn’t fun to have someone shooting at you or to shoot at someone. If one is shooting at someone or a group then odds are they are shooting at you, and with real bullets.

To clarify, a DD-214 is issued to anyone who serves and is discharged from military service under any condition. A DD-215 is issued upon any correction to the DD-214 for inaccuracies such as a medal not listed or listed when it was not awarded to the individual.

I did enjoy the article. Thank you for an interesting article and reporting on our community.

Michael McManus Manahawkin the situation since the original 2005 meeting with ofďŹ cials at St. Francis Center. The Army Corps and the DEP have given us unreasonable demands and they have been unwilling to negotiate. Mr. Hutson points out that Congress could “de-authorizeâ€? the project. Congress is not known for calling a halt to spending taxpayer money for projects.

The local politicians from Harvey Cedars to Holgate see the prospect of federal funds coming in and somehow the project never ends. The politicians’ control of our property will go on “in perpetuity.â€? At some point the letter of “clariďŹ cationâ€? gets forgotten and the government starts doing anything that it deems “for the good of the public,â€? maybe including boardwalks, bathrooms, food stands or whatever. It has happened in other communities and it can happen here if we don’t ďŹ ght back.

I ďŹ nd it difďŹ cult to understand how anyone can truly believe that oceanfront homeowners would not want the dunes and beaches cared for and nurtured. We love this island and have called it home for more than 40 years.

Generation after generation has been taught to respect and care for the precious shoreline.

Contrary to public opinion, we are not talking about privacy or ocean views. We simply don’t want to lose the best part of our land.

Super Addendum To the Editor: Earlier this month, I wrote to you about my recent introduction to a wonderful Surf City resident, Bob Bell (“Resident Superman,” 9/12). This story now has an amazing Part II! Another Surf City family, who wishes to remain anonymous, noticed my letter to the editor on Saturday, Sept.15. “I remember this woman. I met her the day she went to see Mr. Bell,” one sister remarked to another. “I also remember the wave that took out the sandcastle. It got my cell phone, too!”

Later that day, this family went to enjoy one last summer trip to the Sixth Street beach and promptly found missing ring No. 3. Almost a month later!

I’m not kidding. And I’m not making this up, either.

Now here comes the remarkable, Surf City-superhero thing again. Upon finding the ring, the family began to search for a way to contact me. And they found me. In Chicago.

Wow! I wish I could tell you who they are, so that you would know them for the wonderful superheroes they are.

But like many superheroes, they don’t want their cover blown.

Everyone who hears this story keeps telling me how lucky I am to have gotten all of my rings back. True, I do feel very, very lucky, but I also feel lucky to have met these amazing strangers who demonstrated amazing acts of random kindness. I am sure my family will be telling this story for generations to come. I hope what they remember is how I got all three rings back, through the kindness of strangers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Bob Bell and M, T and C in Surf City.

Can’t wait to see you all in 2013!

To the Editor: “Yes!” “I’m in!” “Why not?” “Sounds great!”

These are but a few of the enthusiastic responses I received from Island retailers this June when approaching them to partner with my company, My Girl is Water Jewelry, in a fundraising effort to benefit the Jersey Shore Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. Nine retailers carried the Drop of Water necklace, the sale from which neither they nor my company received profit, as all proceeds are being donated to Surfrider. The success was, and continues to be, a ton of fun as we raised just over $1,000 for our chapter, with additional sales expected through September.

The spirit of all involved was a solid testament to what can be accomplished when people see a way to help and say “yes.”

I want to thank the following store owners who support the mission of keeping our beaches clean, and who chose to stand behind this particular campaign with their continued interest in advocating on behalf of our coastal waters.

Fond Farewell To the Editor: Over the years, many of your readers have enjoyed the columns in The SandPaper written by Rabbi Jacob S. Friedman (“Rabbi Jack”). Due to health concerns, Rabbi Jack has announced his retirement as rabbi of the Jewish Community Center of Long Beach Island, where he was the spiritual leader for more than 10 years. The board of directors of the JCC has recently appointed him rabbi emeritus of the congregation.

The synagogue has flourished under the guidance of Rabbi Jack. During his tenure, it has seen a new rabbi’s residence built, a new synagogue building dedicated and a congregation membership grow in number and strength. He has welcomed worshipers from all backgrounds and made them feel comfortable. He has been an integral part of the interfaith community on both the Island and

Continued from Page 8 their food is genetically modified, because Americans have a right to know what they’re buying.” Not only has the president failed to make good on that pledge, but he has put in key positions individuals with ties to the St. Louis-based Monsanto Corp., which is responsible for the proliferation of this tyrannical technology.

Such failure to “keep the faith” is among the reasons for the disillusionment felt by many of the president’s one-time supporters, who will vote for him this time around only out of the realization of how truly disastrous a victory by his opponent would be. But to be fair, perhaps we’re expecting too much of Obama, overwhelmed as he is by so many other issues and hesitant to take on the Monsanto monster. That is why the success of a million California voters in getting this issue on the ballot is so significant in itself.

But how, at a time when the country is faced with so many other major problems, could one that neither political camp is talking about be of such crucial importance?

Well, to begin with, there’s the insidious public health risk that the manipulation of so much of what we now eat (involving the insertion of alien genes via bacteria) represents. At present, just about any nonorganic product can be considered genetically engineered if it contains soy, corn or canola ingredients, as well as cottonseed oil. Test results have alarmed many researchers to the point where the American Academy of Environmental Medicine advised in 2009 that physicians warn patients, colleagues and the public to avoid consuming GM commodities and to help promote awareness of the health concerns that they have aroused among researchers.

As Organic Consumers Association Director Ronnie Cummins put it, “Unless these foods are labeled, you are most likely a human lab rat in a vast genetic experiment.”

Then, too, the reason most of these crops have been inserted with alien genes is to make them impervious to the effects of the Monsanto glyphosate herbicide Roundup, which also has been associated with a variety of health risks, including those of cancer and neurobehavioral abnormalities.

There’s also the environmental damage that genetic engineering produces in the form of things such as glyphosate-resistant “superweeds” that require even more toxic chemicals to eradicate, and the economic damage it has created by driving many small farmers out of business. Indeed, the pervasiveness of genetically modified Bt corn is even suspected of being a contributing factor in “colony collapse disorder” – the ongoing disappearance of huge numbers of honeybees that threatens the actual existence of some of our most basic crops.

Beyond any such threats to our physical well-being, however, lurks an even more surreptitious, some might even say sinister, socioeconomic peril, which I would characterize as “food fascism.”

If you think that’s a bit over the top, con-

sider this: Every time Monsanto or one of its biotechnology buddies develops and markets a genetically engineered seed, it claims that seed as its exclusive “intellectual property.”

That’s how the company is able to make contractual arrangements with farmers that require them to buy new seeds every year and prohibit them from saving any, a traditional agricultural practice. It’s also why Monsanto attorneys have been successful in the outrageous lawsuits they’ve brought against noncustomer cultivators who had the misfortune of having the company’s patented GM seeds blow onto their fields and contaminate their crops.

With several of our major food sources, in effect, already being literally “owned” by one corporation, and more on the verge of being similarly taken over, it appears to be only a matter of time before that same corporate entity will be able to monopolize and control nearly our entire food supply – at least, if things keep going in the direction they are now.

In a recent interview with Bill Moyers on PBS, Indian activist, author and ecologist Vandana Shiva described the startling magnitude of this “corporate rule on a planetary scale.”

Observing how Monsanto, in the process of “privatizing seed,” has “taken over most of the seed companies of the world,” Shiva, who also has a degree in physics, pointed out that “a seed is the first link in the food chain. And therefore when you control seed, you control food.” It’s all part of what she refers to as “a corporate hijack of our food and a corporate dictatorship over our food system.”

That, and the fact that both our political parties are equally culpable in this situation, is what makes Prop 37 the sort of radical initiative that transcends partisan politics. It should serve to unite the most dyed-in-thewool, anti-big-government conservatives with members of the “Occupy” movement. In fact, if there was ever an example of what it means to “take back our country” and our freedom, this is it.

As of early September, Prop 37 had already been endorsed by more than 2,000 organizations, retailers and businesses, among them the Consumer Federation of America, the Center for Food Safety, the United Farm Workers and the Sierra Club. But, apart from Monsanto itself, it also has some well-endowed adversaries. These include the Grocery Manufacturers Association, a powerful lobbying group, as well as a number of major processed food manufacturers, including such conglomerates as Conagra, Hormel Foods, Kellogg’s, Coca-Cola, Pepsico and Nestle USA.

By MIKE KISTNER can’t really say that the upcoming November election will actually matter.

The level of dysfunction in Washington, D.C., has hit an all-time high. Whatever the Democrats try to do is blocked out of hand by the Republicans. I’m not very hopeful that any change in the White House or Congress will have any positive impact on how our country moves forward.

Money has so corrupted the process that our Founding Fathers would not even recognize what we now have. I’m convinced that the only way to fix this part of the problem would be for a constitutional amendment to be passed that would effectively outlaw campaign contributions.

Today’s campaign contributions are accepted as part of a citizen’s – and now a corporation’s – right to exercise “free speech.”

For the life of me, I can’t understand how something that costs so much money, such as access to that $40,000-a-plate campaign fundraiser, is related to “free” speech. As a sign seen at a recent fundraiser indicated, “$40,000 buys a lot more than just dinner.”

The one and only way to fix this part of the broken puzzle is for the passage of a constitutional amendment to redefine “free speech” to the exclusion of donations to any political campaign. Campaigns would have to be publicly funded and subject to some level of spending cap.

The one organization that would lobby against such a system is the media. The money that is now, and will be, spent on ads on TV, radio and newspapers represents the goose that laid the golden egg to the media.

Campaigns can’t spend the millions – and before we’re all said and done, billions – fast enough, and the media is more than happy to take it all in.

All of that aside, I guess each of us has to make up our minds and vote. Again, I’m not sure how much, if any, good it will do. But “with a gun to my head,” I’ll have to make a decision. With that in mind, I have to make some decisions based on the issues and how the Democrats stand vs. the Republicans.

Not in any particular order of importance, here’s a list of the things that I’ll be considering.

Before I start, let me say that when I use the word “party,” I don’t intend for that to mean 100 percent of its members. But I do think “party” means the majority or at least a substantial portion of its members. Do I want to support a party that has pledged, as its No. 1 priority, to make sure the current

president serves only one term? A party that has a dictionary definition of “compromise” as being a synonym for “surrender”? A party that has used the power of a Senate filibuster, in unprecedented numbers, to not only defeat legislation proposed by the other party, but prevent a vote on proposals presented by the current administration?

A party whose congressional control has produced the lowest public opinion ratings of all time? A party whose overwhelming majority of members have signed a pledge to an unelected power broker (Grover Norquist) to never, ever raise taxes, even if the level of additional revenue represents, for example, only one-tenth of agreed-to spending cuts? A party whose members are more interested in getting a bigger slice of the pie vs. making the pie larger? A party that refuses to spend money on fixing our crumbling infrastructure – something that desperately needs to be done and would put a lot of people back to work?

A party that includes members who believe in creationism over evolution? A party that includes a large number of members who deny the almost universally accepted global warming science? A party with a vocal minority that believes the White House is occupied by a foreigner? A party that resists reasonable gun control laws? A party that may take the position that gays and lesbians are sinful and should not be given equal marriage rights? A party whose members would deny a women’s right to choose, even in cases of rape or incest? A party that supports an economic model and tax system that will only make the income and wealth gap even bigger than it is today?

A party that is, through new voter qualification criteria, shrinking voter participation?

A party that has exaggerated the seriousness of an almost nonexistent voter fraud problem and whose fix will disenfranchise more legitimate voters than it will eliminate illegitimate voters? A party that favors the rollback of Environmental Protection Agency regulations because they unnecessarily protect our environment at the expense of more corporate profits? A party that favors fewer financial regulations because they unnecessarily protect consumers and taxpayers at the expense of obscene Wall Street profits?

Obviously, there are no absolutes when we think of all of the above, but on balance, my gut tells me that the alternative, although very far from perfect, is the better choice. Y Mike Kistner lives in Wayne, N.J., and Ship Bottom. headquarters of a supermarket chain. I had called the chain to inquire if they were selling, or planned to sell, the new genetically engineered sweet corn that was recently approved by the USDA. No, he replied, adding, “It’s bad for business.”

Hopefully, that realization will begin to dawn on others involved in making and marketing the food we eat as well – with a little help from those California voters come November. ❖ Bill Bonvie, a freelance writer based in Little Egg Harbor and a frequent contributor to this section, is co-author of Chemical-Free Kids: The Organic Sequel.

Lucky Local To the Editor: Am I lucky or what? To still be here on beautiful LBI in the autumn sunshine and warm waves. To see great photos by Jack Reynolds on the covers of The SandPaper. To keep my social calendar up to date all season with info on activities like the upcoming Chowderfest.

I’m also lucky to volunteer setting up an art show to raise money to restore the old Fisherman’s Cottage for Beach Haven’s Historical Museum (show closes on the 30th).

I’m lucky to meet such great people through my painting.

Yup! I’m more than lucky – I’m blessed and thankful. You are also if you’re here on LBI this fall.

Reasons for Dislike To the Editor: When I was a young person, two lessons were learned. Through my religious training, the lesson was that I’m a child of God – and so it is with every human being. The second lesson was a little harder to grasp – while God wants me to love each of my fellow humans, there will be times when I don’t like one of them. So it is that I love the current president and respect him as a child of God – but have many reasons for not liking him.

I don’t like him for accentuating America’s shortcomings to the rest of the world – instead of being patriotic and trumpeting all the great things that we’ve accomplished in this world.

I don’t like him for his reckless spending of tax dollars of hard-working Americans, or his reluctance to change his economic strategy despite being mired in the slowest economic recovery in generations.

I further don’t like the current president for his attitude that the answer to any and all problems is bigger central government, over-regulating and suppressing private enterprise while demeaning and devaluing the entrepreneurial spirit that creates jobs and tax revenues.

No, I don’t like the way the current president disregards the Constitution by attempting to bypass the legislative branch and by bullying the judicial to force his agenda down the throats of the citizenry – or the way he sides with radical elements in society in an obvious attempt to secularize and abolish religious expression and freedom of speech.

It’s Here: Merchants Mart on Saturday, Cook-Off on Sunday

Chowderfest in ‘Clamaritaville’

I

t’s “Clam Chowder in Paradise” here this Chowderfest Weekend, Sept. 29 and 30, when the acclaimed Cook-Off Classic brings chowderheads and festival-lovers back to Beach Haven for an end-ofsummer party all LBI’s own.

Playing to the Jimmy Buffet theme of this year’s fest, we could say “you know the reason you waited all season” – for unlimited chowder tasting and festivity on Sunday, and the bargain bonanza of the Merchants Mart the day before.

All activities are at the Taylor Avenue ball field behind Bay Village in Beach Haven, but right now it’s called “Clamaritaville” by the sponsoring Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce.

In the last few days leading up to the weekend, the beer trucks are ordered (Landshark and Bud Light are on the list of co-sponsors), the big top tents go up, and partners are lending a hand building booths to this year’s theme.

“We’re really excited about the Jimmy Buffett theme; we’re going to have a really good turnout,” said Chris Schwab, chamber board president. “We’ve been months in preparation for this. For it to finally come together, it’s great. We’ve got 17 restaurants participating, a record number of merchants for the Merchants Mart. We’ve got the same band coming, Hawkins Road, and they’re a really good draw.

We’re crossing our fingers for good weather. We have all our volunteers in place, and we’re good to go.”

On Sunday, some of the area’s best chefs are vying for your vote as they dish out taster’s cups of clam chowder in both red (Manhattan) and white (New England) varieties from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At the end of the day, there’ll be grand-prize winners and runners-up based on tasters’ choices.

The entrants in Chowderfest represent some of the finest restaurants and catering companies on Long Beach Island and the nearby mainland, as well as two establishments traveling from Atlantic City to participate.

The entrants are, in the red category, Bistro 14; The Black Whale; Buckalew’s Tavern; Chicken or the Egg; Greenhouse Café; Phillips Seafood; Southern Smoke; and Stefano’s Seafood & Pasta.

If you’re the designated gatherer of samples for your group, there’s an easy way. Design and bring your own holder and enter the first Chowder Caddy Contest (see details online at chowderfest. com). Or purchase a clam-shaped caddy from ReClam the Bay onsite. The caddy contest has awards in three categories: best use of the holder, most outrageous, and “the Rube Goldberg Award for the most complicated design to accomplish a relatively simple task.” A caddy may be made out of wood, plastic, paper, titanium, wrought iron – anything, really. However, it can’t be on wheels; it must be hand-held.

Chowderwear It With Flip-Flops TROPICAL TOPPERS: This year’s theme, Clam Chowder in Paradise, inspired one of the festival’s most collectible commemorative T-shirts ever. Designed by Kristin Panzone, the $20 shirt raises funds for Chowderfest donations to scholarships and area special events. So do sales of the annual Chowderfest beads at $20 each, or a set of three for $55. A silver parrot sits well with two glass beads crafted by LBI glass artist Mary Tantillo of SwellColors: one blue, one yellow, and both contain Long Beach Island sand. Ask for them at Chowderfest or stop by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce office on the incoming Causeway, Ninth Street, Ship Bottom, phone 609-494-7211.

Chowderfest has seen them, the clever and the prepared who bring egg cartons, muffin tins and pie pans to hold the sample chowder cups while in the trenches of the White or Red Chowder tents,” described Lori Pepenella, destination marketing director for the chamber. “In the heat of the sampling, there are just not enough hands to hold the coveted cups. Somehow, they evolved, these chowder cup caddies into works of art and extreme function.”

Judging will be at 2 p.m., held with a lighthearted attitude. To accommodate folks who are attending early and can’t stay until the 2 p.m. judging time, chamber’s Chowderfest Committee judges will have an Ipad there to photograph the entries.

To be fittingly dressed for the occasion in Clamaritaville, pick up Chowderwear merchandise – the official commemorative Taster’s T-Shirt, and cool LBI Chowderfest Bracelet Beads.

Bragging Rights on the Line For Critics’ Choice, Too While the 12,000-or-so Chowderheads will be tasting and voting, so will a well-qualified panel of judges from outside the area who will decide the annual Critics’ Choice awards.

Ed Hitzel, self-described as “publisher, broadcaster and overeater extraordinaire,” has created his 2012 dream team of culinary judges to determine the coveted Critics’ Choice Awards. One Critics’ Choice will be bestowed on a red and one on a worthy white competitor, said Lori Pepenella, destination marketing director for the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, which presents Chowderfest Weekend.

Pepenella said this year’s list includes: Neil Elsohn, renowned chef, founder of Water’s Edge and Gertrude’s, Ventnor; Natalie Bailey, author, chef, broadcaster; Richard Dobbins, writer for Ed Hitzel’s Magazine and broadcaster; Darcy Williams, writer; Michael Huber, freelance writer, chef and educator; Geoff Johnson, owner of Copper Fish, Cape

‘Brain Games’ Returns to Library

A

fter a summer break, Brain Games returns to the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City on Monday, Oct. 1, at 2:30 p.m.

The group will be meeting on the first and third Monday of each month.

Basil Karp, who is a program facilitator along with his wife, Phyllis, said seniors are welcome to join the group, which participates in a wide range of mental exercises B designed to stimulate and enhance cogniR tive skills.

“The exercisG A M E S es include memory, spatial perI ception, numbers, puzzles, logical thinking, communiN cation and language and more,” said Karp. “It is held in a friendly, informal atmosphere, and refreshments are provided. There is a time for socialization before the games begin, and new members are always welcome.”

He said the program began several years ago as a collaborative effort with the Friends of the Island Library.

“The idea is that since you need to do physical exercise to keep the body fit, you need to do brain exercises to stimulate the mind,” said Karp. “We have a core group of about 25 to 30 who come each week.”

He said that new to this year’s program will be an introduction of Internet sites where people could try out exercises at home.

“Some of our members who have been coming for a few years have also developed some games on their own,” said Karp.

For more information and registration, call the branch at 609-494-2480. —E.E.

W

ith the cranberry harvesting season under way, the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City will present a talk about the history of this indigenous New Jersey fruit on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. Guest speaker Andrew Anderson of Double Trouble State Park, located in Berkeley and Lacey townships, will discuss the history of the harvest and the migrant workers who harvested the cranberries before the development of modern machinery.

“Before the 1960s, the cranberries were harvested by hand,” said Anderson, who is the park resource interpretive specialist and historian. “People think that the cranberries grow in water, probably from watching those Ocean Spray commercials. But they actually grow in moist bogs, and the farmers fill (the bogs) with water before harvesting. They thrive in the Pinelands region because they need a lot of fresh water and acidic soil.”

In his video and PowerPoint presentation, Anderson will also discuss the history of the park, which before opening in 1964 was a privately owned cranberry farm consisting of 250 acres.

“The cranberry industry started at Double Trouble during the Civil War when the white cedar swamps were converted into cranberry bogs,” he said. “By the early 20th century, the Double Company had one of the largest cranberry operations in New Jersey. Before the cranberry operation, there was a thriving sawmill business.”

Anderson said New Jersey is the third leading state in cranberry production.

“Wisconsin is first, followed by Massachusetts,” he said.

Women in ‘Steel Magnolias’ a Tough Act to Beat

By RICK MELLERUP blame it all on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

Mary Richards, if you recall, was almost a totally new type of television character back in 1970, an independent, intelligent single woman. A great step for women as the feminist movement took hold, no doubt. But it also started the trend that continues to this day of painting men, such as the drunken Lou Grant and the buffoonish Ted Baxter, as incompetent idiots.

The trend continued in 1985 with the arrival of “The Golden Girls.”

In the early years of that series the girls didn’t even need men, excepting Blanche, who used them only as sexual objects (now there’s a role reversal for you).

1987’s “Steel Magnolias,” playing through Oct. 7 at Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre, took its cues from both “MTM” and “GG.” It has a totally female cast and when men are mentioned they are described, in the main, as “bums.” As for the show’s six women, when playwright Robert Harling introduces them they seem to be a rather vacuous bunch, interested only in hairstyles, shoes and weddings and other social events. In the end, though, they prove more substantial. Thus as the title of the play suggests, they start off as southern flowers but prove their mettle, or should we say metal, by the end of the evening.

If the gender politics of “Steel Magnolias” seem rather threadbare in 2012, with women being, at heart, wonderful creatures while men aren’t even worth including, the show remains both funny and touching. Especially in the hands of a well-picked cast such as Cindy Bush Casting assembled for Surflight.

Truvy Jones (Kristen Marie) is the owner of the beauty parlor where all of the show’s action takes place.

She’s not particularly goofy, but her interests are pretty much confined to trying to keep up with the latest beauty trends.

One of her first acts in the show is to hire Annelle (Alliy Drago), a mouse of a girl and a newcomer in town who seems to be escaping from a past. Annelle soon turns Jesus freak. The rest of the women aren’t eager to join her at her newfound church, but even when joking about her they’re not nasty, probably accustomed to the genre considering “Steel Magnolias” is set in Louisiana.

Regulars at Truvy’s parlor in-

clude Shelby Eatenton (Jennifer Drew), Shelby’s mother, M’Lynn (Georgette Reilly Timoney), Clairee Belcher (Marsha Waterbury), an eccentric millionaire and football fanatic, and the curmudgeonly Ouiser Boudreaux (Mary Ellen Ashley).

The show covers a period of three years. Hair styles change, keeping Truvy busy trying to keep up with the times. Shelby marries, moves away, gets pregnant and, well, we don’t want to spoil the story, which is mostly based on Shelby’s health. M’Lynn learns to accept her daughter’s life decisions. Annelle, too, gets married and is big with child come the show’s final scene. Clairee buys a radio station. Ouiser, as gruff and negative as a person can be (indeed one wonders, at first, why the other women would want her as a friend), cracks a bit to show she has a heart.

The women are always, repeat, always there for each other, a sisterhood. No matter what happens, they’ll see their ways through.

“Steel Magnolias” is filled with great laugh-producing lines. Well, with great laugh lines – the audience at the show this reviewer took in didn’t appreciate most of them until Ashley took the stage well into Act I. The stage veteran’s (her career was launched at the age of 4 in the original “Annie Get Your Gun” with Ethel Merman) broad style jolted the crowd out of what may have been after-dinner stupor (a couple of men fell soundly asleep as soon as the lights went down – damn, what did that do to the image of men?).

Even the sleeping beauties woke up when Ashley arrived on the scene.

Her long bio, which lists far too many stage shows to repeat here as well as numerous appearances on television dramas, didn’t include a sitcom. That’s a shame considering the women-are-great-and-men-arepigs genre roles on in television, because she is a natural to play some poor slob’s mother-in-law. Her delivery is perfect for a sitcom star.

It starts with a pause before saying a line, almost as if she’s alerting the audience “here I am, you’d better listen to me because I’m about to say something funny.” Her lines are then delivered loud and clear, which impresses many people, especially, as can be found in living rooms as well as theaters, those who can’t hear as well as they used to. Then another pause, allowing, or even inviting laughter (think Estelle Getty in “The Golden Girls”). Perfect comedic timing.

To repeat, all of the performers were perfectly cast. Marie couldn’t help but remind a person of the always-quipping hair stylist found in just about every beauty parlor.

Waterbury had her comic moments; Timoney was solid in the straightest role in the play. Drew was appropriately vulnerable as the pretty but sickly but brave Shelby. And Drago was such a timid wallflower that she almost seemed that she had a slight intellectual disability (the official term, by federal law, these days for somebody who is a little slow).

Ah, if only “Steel Magnolias” had a male role. This reviewer, a sometimes actor, would have loved working with this cast, even if he was typecast as a pig or a wastrel.

EARLY INFLUENCES: Gail Storm discusses the lives of female blues legends and performs a sampling of their tunes Sept. 27.

This Lady Sings the Blues

L

ong before Janis Joplin wailed the blues, there were singers such as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey who were performing in the 1920s. Smith, Rainey and others of that era will be highlighted at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library when New York-based pianist/singer Gail Storm presents “Women in Blues” on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 1 p.m. in a program sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Other artists she’ll discuss include Ida Cox, Sippie Wallace and Alberta Hunter.

Storm said the program would feature a lecture, audio/visual recordings and her performing songs such as “Send Me to the ’Lectric Chair,” “Wild Women Don’t Have the Blues” and “Women Be Wise.”

“When you listen to their songs, you’ll see that these women were not from a tame breed,” said Storm, who is a licensed creative arts therapist.

The musician noted that Smith was a huge influence on Joplin.

One of Rainey’s signature songs was “See See Rider,” which was covered by numerous artists in the

1950s and ’60s.

A regular performer in New York clubs and various music festivals, Storm said she grew up in a musical family.

“We would sing a lot together,” she said. “As a youngster I had classical piano training. When I went off to college, I was more of a singer playing on my guitar, but then I developed a deeper appreciation for roots music and became more interested in jazz and blues.”

She also has made numerous television, radio and film appearances and has opened for singers including Maria Muldaur and Bakithi Kumalo, a South African composer and vocalist who has worked with Paul Simon, Harry Belafonte and Chaka Kahn. Her discography includes her trio recording “Just the Blues,” a sextet record, “Live at the Vail-Leavitt,” and a jazz collaborative effort, “Duets.” She is currently working on a recording of original material, due to be released in 2013.

fter illustrating more than 60 children’s books, John Manders decided it was time to add “author” to his resume. The result was Really Awful Musicians , and Manders will discuss and sign copies of the book for which he provided both the text and drawings on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 2 p.m. at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City.

Carly Shilling, youth services librarian, said the book is a tale of “bad music, hungry crocodiles and one smart horse.”

“He loves talking to children about the wild and wacky world of children’s book illustration,” said Shilling.

A Franklin, Pa., resident, the 55-year-old Manders is a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He said inspiration for the book came from his days when he provided art work for brochures of the Pittsburgh Renaissance and Baroque Society.

“It was a time when I was interested in music from that era,” he said. “It was music before people followed written notes. In my book, the music was so bad that the king decreed a ban on musicians. Each musician by himself wasn’t so bad, but when one is too fast, one is too slow, one is too loud and one is too quiet, together they sounded really awful.”

Manders said he would read the book aloud, providing voices for all the characters.

He said he would also paint a picture of one of the characters.

“A painting like that might take about 20 minutes,” he said. “But that’s a lot different when I’m in the studio.”

He said that for his book illustrations, the first step is using 2B pencils on layout bond paper, then transferring the images to thick watercolor paper. Next is an “underpainting” using Winsor & Newton Designers gouache, which he said is similar to tempera or poster paint. The colors are painted on top of that.

“Sometimes I’ll start with one color,” he said. “When you paint on top of a color, it enriches its quality of the lighter or darker colors you add.”

He said the menu includes chicken française, sausage and peppers and tuna steaks among other entrees, along with soft drinks.

Draft beers will be available for $2.

“We’re also going to have live entertainment and a lot of fun,” said Curatto. “We really want to throw her a big party because she needs a lot of support.”

Ferraro said she is “determined to fight this disease.”

“I’m not going to give up,” she said. “I have a child in college and one in high school.

It has been tough, but I love life, and I’m going to do what I can to beat this.”

Humorist Shares Jewish Wit and Wisdom

W

hat was it like growing up in a Jewish home in the Bronx? You’ll get an idea when author and humorist Leo Lieberman appears at the Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 10:30 a.m. as part of the Friends of the Library’s Thursday Adventure series.

Lieberman said he would be sharing some of the 75 short stories from his book Memories of Laughter and Garlic.

“For many, it is a world no more,” he said. “The Bronx, the old neighborhood, the neighbors, the school, the library and the playground. I have tried to reconstruct and pepper it with some wisdom supplied by such notables as Tanta Pesha, Sadie with the teeth, Gertie with the hair and Lillie with the nails.

And of course there’s Mama, who informs us every day you should have a good laugh and a clove of raw garlic. I guarantee a few smiles, a couple chuckles and maybe a tear or two.

But after all, isn’t that what life is all about?”

A Margate resident, Lieberman is an associate professor of Holocaust studies at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.

“Stockton was one of the first colleges in the country to offer a master’s degree program on holocaust and genocide studies,” said Lieberman. He also writes a “Chalk Post” column in Jewish Times of South Jersey.

Prior to joining the Stockton faculty in 1995, he had taught literature and writing for 37 years at City University of New York. He has a doctorate from Fordham University in classical Anglo-Saxon and Hebrew literature.

“It’s fun to talk about the old shops, the characters I knew, and then compare the old neighborhood to what it is like today,” he said.

“I’ve also taken students on tours of Holocaust sites in Europe. I like to touch the heart, make some people laugh and end the program with a little homiletic message.”

Decoy & Gunning Festival Weekend

SEPTEMBER 29, 2012 @ NOON ON SITE 204 W. 13TH ST. SHIP BOTTOM, N.J. 08008-4530

T

his year marks the 30th year that the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation will hold the annual Decoy and Gunning Show at Tip Seaman County Park in Tuckerton. The event draws thousands of spectators to the historic town, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 29 and 30. The park is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

True to its name, there will be hundreds of decoy carvers flocking to Tuckerton to compete in the dozens of decoy competitions for the chance to win those coveted ribbons that mark them as true professionals. And as in years past, sportsmen and -women are invited to compete in shotgun shooting contests over picturesque Lake Pohatcong and watch as professional sharpshooters show how it’s done.

The popular duck decoy calling contest always “quacks-up” the crowd, and for the second year, the Delmarva Dock Dog organization will hold competitive hunting-dog pool jumps. Awards are given for the longest leap for each breed of dog.

More than 300 vendors will display and sell woodcarvings, wildlife art, folk arts and related products in two large tents and under the trees. Various wildlife and civic organizations display their information while Pine Barrens bluegrass and country musicians entertain at the park both days.

The Tuckerton Seaport will be holding a silent auction of decoys on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the park, and don’t forget to cross the street and visit the Seaport with its various exhibits on the Barnegat Bay traditions. A sneakbox boat-building demo will take place in Perrine’s Boatworks. Be sure to see Parson’s Clam House, the Junior Duck Stamp exhibit in the Jersey Folklife Arts Center, the New Jersey Surfing Museum and the Tuckerton Railroad exhibit in the Tucker’s Island Lighthouse. Admission to the Seaport is free on both days.

Ocean County will be supplying free shuttle buses from the parking lots at Pinelands Regional High School and the Ocean County Park at Freedom Fields.

This is a real South Jersey family tradition just waiting to become one of yours, so come on down to Tuckerton.

Rocket Composter Blasts Off at Library

F

amilies can learn about reducing the waste stream while enriching the soil with compost and keeping food and waterways healthy at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m.

Guest speaker Angela Andersen, who is the recycling coordinator for Long Beach Township, said she would bring along a rocket composter that was recently obtained by the LBI Consolidated School District through a $28,500 grant from the State Farm Youth Advisory Board. It will be housed this month at the Ethel Jacobsen Elementary School, which will be holding a dedication on Friday, Sept. 28.

At the library program, Andersen said, she would discuss the benefits of organic recycling on small and large scales and also explain why the three Rs (reduce, re-use and recycle) are in that order.

Andersen said she has seen recent studies where discarded food accounts for nearly 30 percent of the waste stream.

“Instead of food going to waste, with the composter, the waste goes back to the earth to help grow more food,” she said.

Carol Laird, district tiered integrated projects program coordinator, helped Andersen get the grant. She said LBI joins the Chatham School District and Bergen Community College as the only educational institutions in the state to receive a grant for the rocket-shaped mechanism “All K-to-six students at the LBICSD will become responsible for collecting and recycling food waste from the school’s breakfast and lunch program,” said Laird. “Food waste will be composted and returned to the EJ School’s vegetable, landscape and rain gardens to nourish new and existing plantings. Our children will become aware of organic wastes as potential resources, rather than something thrown away and forgotten. They will learn through direct experience that they can personally make a difference and have a positive effect on the environment and the community."

Laird said the rocket composter project grew out of her fourth-grade enrichment class.

“They were studying various ways of recycling, and they discovered food waste was an area where recycling is hardly ever done,” she said. “Angela and I got together and put together a grant application. By addressing the solid waste issue, composting instills a sense of environmental stewardship. Our education programs already focus on reusing, reducing and recycling solid wastes; composting fits in with this idea but takes it a step beyond.”

To register for the library program, call 609-494-2480.

Band Triumvirate At BH Block Party

F Need for Speed?

Race for Hunger

I

t’s you in the driver’s seat when the third annual Race for Hunger Grand Prix takes off on Wednesday, Oct. 10. This significant fundraiser for the Greater Tuckerton Area Food Pantry building fund raised $10,200 last year, and $9,000 the year before.

Those who join in will run F1 go-karts at NJ Motorsports Park – but you don’t have to drive to get there; transportation from and back to Tuckerton is part of the package.

Barbara Wilkinson, agent with New York Life insurance company and owner of Group Insurance Solutions LLC in Tuckerton, will be hosting the F1 charity karting event at the park in Millville. The day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m.

“We are full speed ahead to help put an end to hunger, so we are asking for you to hop in the driver’s seat and show your support as well,” said Wilkinson, whose husband, Sam, has driven karts at the speedway as a hobby for the past six years.

The food pantry serves residents not only of the Tuckerton area, but also of Little Egg Harbor, Eagleswood and Bass River townships, and an expanded facility has been much needed.

At the Race for Hunger, each rider will receive training, full gear and three karting sessions of approximately 25 laps each. Gather teams of friends or co-workers – or teams can be assembled from single participants when you get there. Each team’s racing times will be added in a “scramble” fashion to determine who wins the title of Champion of the Grand Prix.

The charity event goes on amid “fun, competition, good food and friendship,” Wilkinson described. “There are prizes for first, second and third place, and prizes for the fastest, slowest, most comical and most spirit!”

After “suiting up” in safety gear, and training, the schedule covers two full racing sessions with the option of a third to fulfill your need for speed, Wilkinson said. A championship race will be held to decide the top three teams.

Food is provided throughout the day.

Cost per person is $250, a tax-deductible donation.

Contact Pam at 609-296-6701 or via email at bbobbin6@ft.newyorklife.com to make reservations.

The rain date is Oct. 17. —M.S.

or the first time since it began in 1995, the Beach Haven Fire Co.’s annual Block Party will feature three bands, providing live musical entertainment while attendees enjoy food, drink and fun-filled activities at the family-friendly event.

The block party runs from noon to 8 p.m. this Saturday at the firehouse on Amber Street, where a block will be closed to traffic from Bay Avenue to Delaware Avenue.

This year locally grown bands The Rock Lobsters and Chef George’s Brain Stew will return to serve up their recipes of classic and modern rock covers. Meanwhile, a new band has joined the fray – Garage Kept, formed earlier this summer, whose members have deep ties to the Beach Haven community.

Butch McCaffrey, 60, is a former police chief of Beach Haven, and though he has been playing guitar and singing for years, being in a band is a new and welcome experience for him.

McCaffrey has been jamming alongside Dave DeCarlo, who used to own Kapler’s Pharmacy in Beach Haven, as well as Billy Stasi, who once worked there. Gary Scheimreif worked for the borough public works department and has since retired. Drummer Pete Anderson rounds out the group, which focuses on classic rock and oldies covers and played at the Beach Haven firehouse pig roast in June.

“At our age we’re not looking for a recording contract,” said McCaffrey. “When we played for other people, they thought it sounded good. It’s just fun when you put a song together and people like it.”

Garage Kept takes the stage at 2 p.m., followed by Chef George’s Brain Stew at 4 p.m. and The Rock Lobsters at 6 p.m. Tuckerton’s DJ Mario will keep the music going between sets.

“The big thing for me is performing in my hometown,” said “Chef ” George Fisher of Tuckerton, who plays drums for Brain Stew and whose parents owned Fisher’s Diner in Beach Haven. “I look forward to going each year to see all the people I grew up with.”

Beach Haven firefighters will be on the grill tossing burgers and turning hot dogs. Soft pretzels, soda and popcorn will be available, as well as pork roll sandwiches. Inflatable “bouncy houses” will be accessible to the children who attend, and a bicycle, provided

by Hudson House Bar, will be auctioned off.

Admission is free, though donations to the fire company are encouraged and accepted as the block party represents one of the fire company’s two largest fundraisers of the year.

For $20, those old enough to do so earn a beer mug and five beer tickets with additional tickets available for purchase.

The event usually draws around 1,500 people throughout the day, said Deputy Chief Lewis Letts, who explained many come from the nearby Taylor Avenue ball field where the Merchants Mart, takes place each year, creating a crowd of locals mixed with visitors from afar.

STILL CRUISING: Members of the Beaver Brown Band will appear at Surflight on Saturday.

John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band Bringing Jersey Sound to Surflight

L

ike the folks from the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, Suzy Yengo, the producer of the Catch a Rising Star comedy and concert series at Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre, knows how to extend a season.

It is time for Chowderfest weekend, which years ago replaced Labor Day as the unofficial end of the tourist season on Long Beach Island.

Thousands of people will flood onto LBI to partake of the taste-fest on Sunday, which means thousands of people will be looking for something to do on Saturday evening. That makes it the perfect time for the Catch a Rising Star series to end on a high note.

Now, if you’re coming in from around the country (such is Chowderfest’s repute) to the Jersey Shore you’re going to want to hear some Jersey Shore music. You know – Springsteen or Bon Jovi, that sort of thing. Well, Bruce and Jon don’t play clubs at the Jersey Shore much these days, gravitating to football stadia, so a producer of shows at a 450-seat theater such as Surflight has to look a little further down the list.

Last Chowderfest, Yengo brought in Southside Johnny, one of the founding fathers of the Jersey Shore sound. But he played Surflight this summer. So what to do?

Well, there’s another group, John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, which is associated with the Jersey Shore sound, even if it makes its home in Rhode Island.

How did that happen? There are a couple of reasons.

First of all, the group, then known only as Beaver Brown, launched in 1972, the same year Bruce was whipping up the E Street band and recording his first album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. So it isn’t surprising that Cafferty, Beaver Brown’s driving force, picked up on the sound early.

Secondly, in 1983 a filmmaker, Martin Davidson, released a movie called “Eddie and the Cruisers.” It was about a fictional band that had made a name for itself playing regularly at a bar in Somers Point in the late 1960s. Davidson had originally thought the band should sound like a combination of Dion and the Belmonts and the Doors, but by the early 1980s he realized a Jersey bar band had to include echoes of Continued on Page 56

Sound Engineer, Band Member Reminisce

By MICHAEL MOLINARO lthough John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band have never rocked out at Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven before, it will be a reunion of sorts between the band and Surflight’s current sound engineer, John Nocera, when they play there this Saturday during Chowderfest weekend. Nocera mixed the group’s sound in Rhode Island, where all of them hail from, before the band achieved fame as the soundtrack provider for “Eddie and the Cruisers,” a 1983 cult classic film following the rise of a young band.

In the decades since, the soundtrack has sold four million copies worldwide, and the hit “On the Dark Side” shot up through the Billboard charts to reach Number 1. It earned the group comparisons to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which Nocera says is justified.

Nocera, 44, has 27 years experience mixing sound. He last worked with the Beaver Brown Band five years ago at a benefit in Warwick, Rhode Island.

“Hopefully they’ll still be the high energy band they always were,” said Nocera, who looks forward to mixing the six-person band at Surflight. “It’s a special treat, coming out of musicals and plays, to have a good rock band in there.”

Part of what gives them such similarity to “The Boss” and company is the work of saxophonist Michael “Tunes” Antunes, who Nocera acknowledged specifically for his showmanship. Antunes, now 72, also played Wendell Newton in “Eddie and the Cruisers,” and recalled what it was like achieving the band’s success.

“We had huge success with “Eddie and the Cruisers,” said Antunes in an interview with The SandPaper. “We were on MTV Continued on Page 67

Tim Hart Becomes County Historian

T

imothy G. Hart of Stafford Township has been appointed to the position of Ocean County historian by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders.

“Tim Hart is a true friend of Ocean County, and his love for the history of this great county makes him the perfect choice for county historian,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the county’s Cultural and Heritage Commission. “I look forward to working with Tim in promoting the county’s rich heritage, culture and history.”

“Tim has extensive knowledge of the county’s history,” Bartlett added. “He is an expert when it comes to the role the Barnegat Bay plays in county history in addition to how historical events like the Civil War have had an impact on this county.”

On Monday, Hart said in reference to his appointment, “I see my role as an ‘advocate’ for Ocean County in the statewide discussion of New Jersey history and a supporter of the many individual and group historical efforts to help provide technical training and support. Ocean County does not receive the credit deserved on a statewide consideration of history from the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Lifesaving Service and many other topics, including the Hindenberg and the development of tourism and suburban living.”

Hart was named Stafford Township historian in 2006, only as the second official historian of that municipality since 1749. In 2009, he joined the county staff as division director for the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission. That same year, he was named deputy director of the Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum.

He has also been an active member of the League of Historical Societies of New Jersey, serving as the organization’s president in 2010, and as a trustee from 2008 to 2010. He is also known for his participation in numerous historical re-enactments and serves as a trustee for Advocates for New Jersey History.

“Tim’s ongoing participation in re-enactments has brought him closer to the county’s history, giving him a sense of what it was like to experience important events throughout time,” said Bartlett.

Ocean County bid fond farewell to former County Historian Pauline S. Miller upon her death in December 2011 at the age of 93. Miller was a noted author and lecturer who promoted the history of Ocean County for more than four decades.

“I am honored to follow Pauline ‘Polly’ Miller,” Hart remarked. “She really invented Ocean County history as a way of thinking.

She was able to pull together the many family and town histories.”

She was, he added, “a tireless advocate for Ocean County history.”

— Juliet Kaszas-Hoch julietkaszas-hoch@thesandpaper.net

e-mailed a letter to Mayor Al Cirulli through the township website, complaining of “reckless development and deforestation.”

She, with her husband, Albert Miller, and several friends attended the Sept. 18 township committee meeting wearing green shirts with “Keep Barnegat Green” pasted on.

Speaking during the public portion, D’Arcangelo said that while Barnegat has in the past indicated an interest in preserving and protecting the Pinelands and Barnegat Bay, recent actions speak otherwise.

“These are very sensitive lands,” she said.

“I wish there were ways we can make zoning laws to ensure preservation. Clearly, if we do not take steps now to preserve these lands, the economic and recreational benefits they provide will not be available to our children and our grandchildren. If deforestation continues to occur in the areas surrounding the lowlands and streams, the flooding and pollution from runoff that will ensue will disrupt our ecosystem.”

In her letter to Cirulli, D’Arcangelo said that the township should have attempted to rebuild and attract new businesses to the Down the Hatch and the burnt-down Sweet Jenny’s site, both on Route 9, before clearing the land.

“It is stated several times on the township website that Barnegat offers many business opportunities,” she wrote. “Perhaps that is what led to the deforestation of the large areas of land where the (Super) Wawa, pharmacies and office buildings were built. If the township continues to clear land for new businesses, there will not be much opportunity in the future. Mr. Cirulli, I know that your job requires you to make some sacrifices, but it also puts you in a position to be a steward of the land you govern. I am asking you on behalf of myself but also future generations to consider the future of the environment when considering the future of the economy in Barnegat.”

Cirulli said that he did not receive the e-mail.

However, he and Township Administrator David Breeden invited D’Arcangelo and the other concerned residents to set up an appointment during the day at township hall to discuss the issue.

When she asked Cirulli what the township could do to curb development, the mayor said, “It is very difficult to stop building.

“If someone owns private land and they want to build on it, it is their right,” said Cirulli. “The developer would have to come to our planning and zoning boards. The boards’ responsibilities are to make sure that the applicant is conforming to our zoning ordinances. If they meet all the requirements, there’s really nothing we can do to stop them.”

“We’re so overdeveloped it has been getting out of control for years,” added resident Jake Taylor. “I thought we were going to be preserving open space, but instead all we do is keep building and building. When is it going to stop?”

Taylor said he was concerned about the vacant Shoreline Sand and Gravel site on West Bay Avenue (see separate story), which is up for public auction in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Trenton on Monday, Sept. 24. The committee recently approved a planning board recommendation to designate the area as a site for redevelopment.

“That place is still a mess,” said Taylor. “You still see trucks going in there, probably dumping all kinds of stuff.”

Township Committeeman Len Morano said he and other officials are very interested to see who bids on the property. “All I know is that I don’t want to see any more homes go up in there,” he said. “It was used for light industrial purposes. It should remain that way.”

Friends of OC Animal Shelter Given Alley Cat Allies Grant W e probably won’t be exchanging cards on National Feral Cat Day (Oct. 16), but the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter have something big to celebrate. They recently received an award for the trap, neuter/spay and release program they initiated in Harvey Cedars last March. Alley Cat Allies sent a $500 Community Impact Award to the Friends that will be put to good use in future trap, spay/neuter and release programs.

Last March, the Friends contracted the Associated Humane Societies to bring their mobile spay/neuter veterinarian van from Newark to Harvey Cedars, where the friends had trapped 24 feral cats.

Since then, the Friends have done

another 40 LBI cats, said volunteer Linda Bonvie.

“Harvey Cedars was fantastic,” said Bonvie. “They let the van park near the municipal building and had members of the police department directing traffic; the township provided a heated garage for the recovery of the cats.”

After the cats had their operations, community volunteers took them home for a recovery period before returning them to the areas where they were trapped. The cats were also micro-chipped, given rabies and distemper shots, cleared of parasites and given other veterinarian treatments if needed, said Bonvie. “Caretakers feed the colony on a daily basis. We don’t just drop them off to fend for themselves,” she

said. “They have a much better life, and it prevents unwanted behaviors and, of course, new kittens. It’s a much more effective way of controlling the feral cat population rather than euthanasia.”

Friends President Dottie Reynolds said the trap, spay/neuter, release program was effective in reducing cat problems in the borough. “The borough clerk told me when they got their bill from Stafford Animal Control that it contained no cats, and there had been no cat complaints for the whole month of August.”

Reynolds said the warm winter meant female feral cats in other parts of the Island could produce three litters of kittens as opposed to two. “Fortunately, in Harvey Cedars we trapped a lot of females and al-

Tuckerton Borough Workers Receiving New Uniforms, Wash Day Assignment

W

ednesday may be washday for some Tuckerton Borough workers. In an effort to save money, Tuckerton will discontinue the uniform rental contract that costs around $6,500 annually, said Councilman John Schwartz, and will instead purchase uniforms for the public works and water utility workers – plus a washer and dryer for the public works building.

“We’ve had problems with uniform cleaning, where someone will give them three pairs of pants and get back only two. So I talked with the men and we’ll be purchasing uniforms,” Schwartz said during the Sept.

17 municipal meeting. The borough will purchase long-sleeve shirts, Tshirts and workpants for each worker.

“We’ll also provide the Tide for the washer so they can do their clothing there. Some of the workers have to go down into a sewer collapse, so we can understand why they wouldn’t want to take the clothing home,” said Schwartz.

Schwartz said he had obtained three quotes and a short-sleeve shirt would cost between $6.25 to $12.50 and a pair of pants from $16.24 up to

$18.81. “It’s amazing how the same shirt can be priced so differently,” he said. The shirts will be a light smoke grey and the pants will be blue for the workers and tan for the supervisor.

A Tuckerton borough logo will be stitched on the pockets.

Other spruce ups around the town include new carpeting for the municipal courtroom in borough hall, where municipal meetings are held. The council voted to award a $1,799 contract to A&R Carpet of West Creek.

The recording system for the court and municipal meetings also needs updating and the council voted to spend $3,500 for that.

Schwartz also reported that volunteers successfully moved the food pantry from the Sea Cure Moving and Storage building on one side of Route 9, to the renovated former dance studio in Tuckerton Plaza, across the street. “We started at noon on Monday and by 3:30 (p.m.) Tuesday, we were done and we served 20 families on Thursday. We didn’t skip a beat.

“We had huge amounts of help.

People came with their screw guns and their muscles; Sea Cure Movers moved the freezers filled with food.

Thanks to everyone.”

Mayor Buck Evans said the move went well. “I never saw so much tomato sauce – and toothpaste,” he said.

Councilman Jim Edwards reported the borough received a recycling check of $4,886 from Ocean County, the borough’s share of profits for six months of recycling.

“There is a market return of $13.57 for each ton we recycle, so that’s 360 tons of recyclables. That’s how many tons he (public works recycling worker) has lifted on his back.”

Eagleswood Boy Scout Troop 117 received certificates of thanks from Evans for their help in painting the wooden fence at South Green Street Park.

Dale Eggert of the Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Company said Sparky the firedog would be on hand to welcome families to the first Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Company Open House on Oct. 9 from 5 to 8 p.m. “It’s going to be a big, community affair,” he said.

Councilman Tony Foglia said the fire company has requested the use of the municipal lot next to the firehouse in order to set up a vehicle extrication demonstration and other

The Friends also rescue kittens on LBI. “We spay and neuter them, give them shots and put them up for adoption. So far, every kitten we have rescued has found a home,” said Reynolds.

“We are also in need of folks who would be able to foster kittens in their home. This would be for approximately up to eight weeks until they are big enough to be spayed or neutered and then be placed for adoption,” said Bonvie. For more

information on fostering, call volunteer Kathy Gross at 609-978-2474.

FOSOCAS will be doing another spay/neuter day in Harvey Cedars on Oct. 26.

“We hope to extend the program throughout LBI,” said Reynolds.

Donations for the FOSOCAS spay/neuter clinics can be sent to P.O. Box 1162, Manahawkin, N.J. 08050. Donors are asked to note on the check that it is for the LBI feral cat program.

Beach Haven Library Will Keep Morning Hours The Beach Haven Public Library will be opening its doors a little earlier in the off-season according to new hours that go into effect on Monday, Oct. 1. Library Director Jean Frazier said the facility will be open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. It is closed Sunday.

“In the past off-seasons we did not open until 12:30 p.m., and a lot of customers had been telling us that they wished we had opened earlier in the day instead of waiting until early afternoon,” said Frazier.

She said that in the past, off-season hours included two days when the library was open until 8 p.m.

“We found that not many people liked going out at night, especially when the cold weather sets in,” said Frazier. “So instead of keeping later hours, we’ll start each day at 10 like we do during the summer. Many of our customers wanted it that way.”

For more information, call the library at 609-492-7081. —E.E. exhibits. Tuckerton Police Officer Cherry will give a K-9 demonstration, said Eggert, and they hope to include the Tuckerton Elementary School by having a fire prevention poster art show in the firehouse.

The council voted to close the lot that night, giving the use over to the fire company. Eggert said public parking could be across the street at the Methodist Church, where the town owns a portion of the lot. Fire police will help families cross the street.

Evans announced that the annual

Run for the Fallen would pass through Tuckerton on Saturday, Sept. 29, the same day as the Ocean County Decoy and Gunning Show. “That’s okay; we will give them a safe passage through town,” said Evans. “It’s a great thing.”

Stafford Engineers Present Plans to Alleviate Flooding S

tafford Township’s civil engineering firm, CME Associates of Howell, has presented a design plan that could resolve the persistent and problematic flooding issues in the Ocean Acres residential development, specifically in the targeted areas of concern near Neptune Drive and Forecastle Avenue. The two existing retention basins in those areas are drastically under capacity to handle even moderate rain events.

The proposed plan would construct an additional, seven-acre bio-retention basin and spillway south of Route 72 to relieve the Neptune basin and would widen the Forecastle basin to expand its capacity. The project, with a cost currently estimated at $2.3 million, remains subject to permitting processes, further cost calculations and the availability of grant funding.

At the Sept. 18 municipal meeting, CME Principal Engineer Trevor Taylor illustrated the new plan through a

Barnegat Waits For Ruling on Shoreline Bids

B

arnegat officials are awaiting results of Monday’s bidding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on the defunct Shoreline Sand and Gravel mining operation on West Bay Avenue. Jonathan Cuticelli, project manager for the real estate auction company, Sheldon Good and Co., said two bids were received. However, he said he could not divulge any details of the proposals or the identity of the bidders pending an official ruling by the bankruptcy court. The minimum bid on the property was $600,000.

The mining and recycling facility, which is located a half-mile west of the Garden State Parkway, ceased operations after filing for bankruptcy in 2010. The Ocean County Solid Waste Commission had given Shoreline approval to operate the facility in 2005.

The 110-acre tract is bordered by the Ocean Acres and Heritage Point residential developments, along with several private homes on Nautilus Drive. The street frontage area of the site is zoned commercial, while the remaining portion is zoned for residential use.

Township Engineer John Hess noted that the township committee recently adopted a resolution by the planning board to designate the area for redevelopment. He said that with the designation, the town could be eligible for grants if any environmental cleanup is necessary. The area had several buildings in deteriorating condition, old storage tanks and contaminated soil.

“The town can’t do anything yet until the court decides who has successfully bid on the property,” he said.

“Once that is decided, then the town would work closely with them to make sure any future development is consistent with the vision of the township and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.” —E.E.

series of diagrams and by detailing the environmental and funding impacts.

“We’re very comfortable with our concept design and where our numbers are at this point,” he said.

An aerial photograph showed the Ocean Acres development, with a southern drainage divide between Ocean Acres and adjacent woods.

As shown, the Neptune basin’s total drainage area is 350 acres, and Forecastle’s is 536 acres.

The township has implemented some measures to combat the flooding in the last 10 to 15 years, Taylor said, including 19 infiltration trenches in right-of-ways to percolate rainwater into the ground, as well as a mandate for homeowners to install the trenches on their properties. Still, the engineers have found the Neptune basin floods at elevation 81 and Forecastle floods at elevation 66. At those elevations, the flooding caused by a 100-year storm would come up over roads and onto properties, impacting an estimated 40 to 60 houses.

But for the Neptune basin, flooding starts to become problematic at about elevation 75, he said, with problems concentrated near the intersection of Neptune and Leeward.

To expand the basin in its current location would be to encroach on existing adjacent lots, some of which are presently undeveloped. Development would only worsen the effects of stormwater runoff, Taylor explained.

One issue affecting the basins is climate change, which has resulted in increased rainfall totals in New Jersey, he said. In Ocean County, the Natural Resources Conservation Service recently amended the definition

of a 100-year storm, from 7.5 inches in 24 hours to 9.2 inches in 24 hours.

The redefinition only further stresses the basins, he explained, given the volume they can accommodate, which analysis has revealed is about a two- to five-year storm event.

The proposal is to construct the new seven-acre bio-retention basin on the south side of Route 72, on township-owned land, which would essentially double the capacity of the existing 4.9-acre Neptune basin. A box culvert under the state highway would connect the existing and new basins by funneling and conveying the 100-year storm under the highway at 1,000 cubic feet per second. The new basin would have a sand layer on the bottom to filter rainwater down into the aquifer and vegetation in the form of native Pinelands plantings to benefit the bay. The spillway design takes any overflow from the basin and discharges it over land, through the woods and down the stream corridor, Taylor explained.

For the Forecastle basin – “essentially a lake,” as Taylor described it – grading conditions prohibit a newbasin solution similar to Neptune’s.

So the best plan, as the engineers see it, is to widen the existing basin to provide for some additional volume.

Surrounding the basin, just south of Canal Avenue, is a five-acre parcel and a heavily forested area.

Taylor said the Pinelands Commission’s initial go-ahead is required before any real project calculations could be made.

The N.J. Pinelands Commission must sign off on the project because Continued on Page 62

LBT’s Contributions Help Medical Center Expand

A

s Southern Ocean Medical Center expands its Emergency Department, slated for completion in June 2013, Long Beach Township has pitched in to help fund the $22.5 million project, and called for surrounding municipalities to do the same.

Township Mayor Joseph Mancini, also the SOMC Foundation board of trustees vice chairman and chair of the campaign to expand the hospital’s ED, asked officials in Long Beach Island’s other five municipalities, and Stafford Township, to contribute funding.

“I made a personal appeal to each of the mayors, that they might join together to do something collectively,” Mancini stated. He said the governing bodies are looking at their budgets and considering the idea. Mancini does understand that the smaller towns may not be as fi nancially equipped to donate as Long Beach Township, the largest Island municipality.

For 2012, the township gave $14,120 to SOMC, with $10,000 allocated specifically for an emergency department room. As Mancini explained, the minimum donation to name a room in the ED is $50,000,

New SOMC Emergency Department to Open 2013 which can be pledged as $10,000 a year for five years.

In 2011 and years previous, the township donated about the same amount to the hospital, just as it annually contributes to the Island fi rst aid squads and fi re departments.

Long Beach Township Policeman’s Benevolent Association Local #373 pledged $20,000 to SOMC for a police room in the Emergency Department this year, and a number of community events held by yacht clubs and other organizations have helped raise money as well.

“We are very appreciative of the contributions received by Long Beach Township as well as other towns surrounding our hospital,” said SOMC President Joe Coyle. “Their support just emphasizes how our medical center is indeed an integral part of our community and a valued resource. This kind of generosity helps us continually grow faster and better to continue to best meet the health needs of every member of our community.

“Perhaps the most exciting evidence of this will be in June of 2013

when our new Emergency Department is completed with the help of such contributions. This new facility and the programming associated with it will bring emergency services to the Southern Ocean community to a new level.”

The size of the Emergency Department will be triple what it was, and the number of patient beds will increase from 22 to 42.

The hospital website, southernoceanmedicalcenter.com, explains the need for expansion: “In 1972, when the Emergency Department opened its doors, between 20 and 30 patients were treated daily. Today, in only a slightly expanded space, more than 110 patients, on average, come for emergency care each day.

The hospital’s unique geographic location, the continued annual influx of summer tourists to Long Beach Island, and an uncertain economic future mean that Emergency Department visits will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

According to the website, 80 percent of hospital admissions are through the Emergency Department.

“The growth in utilization and the age of the existing facility makes this expansion project a priority for Southern Ocean Medical Center.”

As Mancini pointed out, in addition to contributing to the hospital, Long Beach township also gives generously to the Island fi re departments and fi rst aid squads each year; in each of the last two years, 2011 and 2012, for example, the municipality donated a total of $422,930 to Surf City Volunteer Fire Co., Barnegat Light Volunteer Fire Co., High Point Volunteer Fire Co., Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Co., Beach Haven Volunteer Fire Co., Beach Haven First Aid Squad and Barnegat Light First Aid Squad, all of which respond to emergencies in Long Beach Township, which does not have its own fire company or fi rst aid squad.

“We donate and we thank them very much for their services,” said Mancini.

He added, “We have very good fi rst aid squads and fi re departments, and great equipment, but if they have nowhere to take the people … They have to bring them someplace” – to Southern Ocean Medical Center.

Mixed Martial Artist Ready for Next Level of Challengers

Tuckerton Heavyweight Wins Three MMA Titles B

By MICHAEL MOLINARO rutal” Brendan Barrett of Tuckerton has “ been bashing his way through his mixed martial arts competition this year and is on a roll, earning a striking three heavyweight championships for different promotions within the past five months. Most recently, Barrett, 30, raised the Extreme Fighting Events (XFE) belt at the Cage Wars event at Harrah’s Casino in Philadelphia on Aug. 25, winning a grueling title bout decision against Randy Smith.

As he entered the cage, the crowd that Barrett personally sold about 80 tickets to began frantically chanting his name, showing a growing following the fighter has developed. The fight was a three-round war in which Barrett dominated the first two rounds through take-downs and controlling the pace of the fight with effective strikes.

“I had him hurt pretty badly, but he took everything I gave him,” said Barrett, who gave up about 35 pounds and at least five inches of reach to Smith, 36. “He was bleeding all over the place in the second round. I was really close to almost finishing the fight from a dominant position, but he was always fighting back the whole time.”

Smith mounted a final, all-out assault in the third round.

“Part of my game plan was to let him punch me in the face so he would tire himself out but he kept coming,” said Barrett. “The game plan didn’t work out the greatest but it kept people on the edge of their seats. I told him, ‘All the respect in the world,’ and that that was one of my hardest-fought victories. I’ve never seen someone as determined and possessed for a fight. Everything I wanted to do to him in that fight he had trained and prepared perfectly for.

“He was going to end up getting a win and he did everything he needed to do to get it. I guess I just pushed a little harder and hit a little harder and I wasn’t walking out of there without that belt.”

The f ight would air on CN8 Comcast SportsNet multiple times.

“I haven’t seen anybody get that many new title opportunities in a year. It’s pretty remarkable,” said XFE owner Dave Feldman. “That’s basically the way it works on our level when you’re a good fighter, and a good ticket seller.”

Barrett picked up the Locked in a Cage HWT belt in June, besting “Bazooka” Joe Stripling;

and the Raging Warriors HWT title by defeating J.A. Dudley at Mayhem on the Mountain in April, with quick punishing victories over both opponents. He also holds two heavyweight submission-grappling titles for jujitsu and is becoming more interested in boxing after having one professional fight.

In his interview with The SandPaper, Barrett was well spoken and collected – or as his website brutalbrendanbarrett.com describes him: “Gentle by nature, brutal by trade.”

“This has been a pretty big year,” said Barrett, who began the year recovering from a broken ankle sustained in a training accident. “Yeah, three in a row; it’s getting exciting. Hopefully, things just keep coming.”

Barrett’s MMA successes this year brings up the prospect of competing for larger companies like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

“I’m open to it. I just gotta take each fight as it comes. It’s just a matter of what’s going to give me the best opportunity. I had this fight; I got through it and won. Now I’m just looking into a bunch of different options and possibilities.

“It doesn’t matter really what the show is.

I’m going to be doing the same thing against another man with two arms and two legs. It doesn’t phase me. I’ve been doing this a while.

And you have to be mentally prepared. Or else when it happens, you’re going to get sucked in and get distracted by the UFC or Strikeforce, and lose sight of what you’re there to do and get star-struck.”

Barrett is one of thousands vying for the same spotlight and, as he explained, sometimes it comes down to “dumb luck.”

“Other times, there’s politics involved. Or getting solid management that manage guys in the UFC. “I’ve been self-managing for most of my career,” said Barrett. “When I got some big opportunities early on, there were some managers that dropped the ball. I’ve been trying to have someone else handle it so I can focus on fighting. But it cost me, so I’ve been taking care of it myself.”

Management and marketing skills may have been developed while Barrett attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., majoring in accounting and business administration with a finance concentration. During his final semester Continued on Page 62

Tuckerton Center to See Strip Mall Renovations L ocal businessman Tony Cheng’s plan to renovate and enlarge the former Shoppes at Middle of the Shore into a modern strip mall was given a unanimous thumbs-up by the Tuckerton Land Use Board during the Sept. 20 meeting.

Cheng had already started demolition of the building’s fake village façade and begun constructing the foundation for five additional shops to the east of the existing building based on an informal presentation at the last board meeting in August.

He will continue construction at his own risk since the borough’s approval of the application can be appealed within 45 days.

Altogether, Cheng intends to add seven additional rentals, two to the west, leaving one large open space for an anchor store. The existing building, on 3.9 acres off Route 9, was originally an Acme Supermarket.

When questioned about the possible tenants for the anchor, Cheng’s attorney Howard Butensky said Cheng was operating under the “Field of Dreams” adage: “Build it and they will come.”

Land use board engineer Jack Mallon said since the application in the B1 zone and historic Seaport zone did not constitute a change of use, it was exempt from presenting a “traditional site plan.”

The applicant asked for two waivers: relief from the required 30-foot commercial/residential buffer and a traffic study.

The board granted the variance for the 30foot buffer requirement because the site predated that part of the land use law. Cheng said he would plant a line of trees and shrubs along the perimeter of the site but did not have 30 feet in some parts of the site.

A traffic study was waived after Cheng’s associate, Bruce Haggis, said, based on his experience in developing similar projects, the new strip mall would not generate any more traffic

than the previous, existing uses had.

The reconfiguration of the existing parking lot to 110 parking spaces will include islands of trees and rain gardens that will be designed to capture some of the runoff of the building and the expansion.

Mallon said that even with the increase in impervious coverage, the stoned drainage area and the rain gardens would do more to control stormwater runoff than what is presently occurring on the site.

In deference to the neighbors of the project, one of which is the J.D. Thompson Bed and Breakfast, Mallon asked what the hours of operation might be.

Butensky said since there are no tenants yet, “each of the tenants will operate under your ordinance.”

But board member Thomas Hennaut said he was concerned for residents in the area if a tenant was, for example, a restaurant and bar.

The board finally set a limit by stating there would be no 24-hour operations allowed.

Another consideration was whether neighbors would still be allowed to access their property through the parking lot. A residence to the rear of the property would retain the right to access its property because it could not be landlocked and one to the west, owned by former Councilwoman Nancy Speck, could retain an informal easement through the buffer as long as her family owned the property.

The owners of the bed and breakfast would also retain an easement into their parking lot, as would the owners of an insurance agency in the front of the property.

Chang said he would call the strip mall “Seaport Plaza.”

Hennaut also asked if once the tenants were in the building, if they or Cheng would be paying a cartage company for garbage pickup.

Cheng said he realized that Tuckerton was

Wildflowers Tempt Birds and Butterflies

Ballanger Creek Habitat Site Opened for Hiking

W

inding through a dead and submerged cedar forest, the slightly spooky Ballanger Creek straddles the border between Little Egg Harbor and Bass River townships. It was once dammed as a pond and the site of a gristmill and then a sawmill, when it was known as the French Farm. But those days are gone. Now it offers a pleasant hike through fields and woods and along that spooky creek.

The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey purchased the eight acres in the 1990s; since then it was incorporated into the surrounding Bass River State Forest.

The Ballanger Creek Habitat Enhancement site is managed jointly by the state forest and the CWF. On Sunday, CWF Project Manager Ben Wurst and a handful of volunteers came out to do trail maintenance as a precursor to National Public Lands Day, Sept. 29.

Wurst was the impetus behind saving the site when he saw that it had become a dumpsite for so-called “clean fill,” asphalt and concrete left over from construction sites. In 2009, he applied for a Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant, and CWF received $175,000 that was used to employ about 12 people, he said – mostly those who worked for a private consulting fi rm and an excavation company that removed 1,240 cubic yards of fill.

The CWF then planted 250 native shrubs and berry plants to attract wildlife to the site; this past summer the fi rst wildflowers came up in the fields, attracting butterflies

Democrats: GOP Is Ducking LWV Event

T

he two Democrats running against a pair of Republican incumbents for the Barnegat Township Committee in November say their opponents are ducking the public in their refusal to participate in a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters next month.

Elaine Taylor, a former board of education member who is running with newcomer Susan Conway for two three-year terms, said the Democrats received a letter from the league saying the event has been canceled “due to the decision on the part of the Republican candidates not to participate.”

The Republican incumbents are Mayor Al Cirulli and Committeeman Jeff Melchiondo.

“I think it is a real shame because it gives the taxpayers an opportunity to hear people debate the issues,” said Taylor. “It makes me think, ‘what are they hiding?’ Why don’t they want to do this? If you’re running, you should come before the taxpayers and answer questions.”

Taylor added, “I’m not a very political person. My daughter interned this summer for Gov. Christie, and I’m not going to deny her that opportunity because he is a Republican.’

Conway said debates in the public forum “are a time-honored tradition.”

“They have been nicely conducted and it gives people a chance to meet and hear the candidates,” she said. “I’m surprised and disappointed they have declined to participate in this.”

Cirulli has been on the committee since 2003, while Melchiondo won his first threeyear term in 2006 after being appointed to fill unexpired terms on the committee in 2004 and 2005. Cirulli was also mayor in 2007 and was deputy mayor the last three years. Melchiondo served as mayor form 2008 to 2011.

Melchiondo said he and his running mate reached a mutual decision not to participate.

“We’ve been in them in the past,” said the committeeman. “I don’t really want to go into the politics of it. I’d rather leave it at that.”

Cirulli could not be reached for comment.

Vegetarian Awareness Month

Plant-Based Diets Provide Something For Us to Chew Over O ct. 1 is World Vegetarian Day, the kickoff of Vegetarian Awareness Month. An annual celebration established by the North American Vegetarian Society in 1977, World Vegetarian Day was recognized by the International Vegetarian Union in 1978 to promote the life-enhancing possibilities of plant-based diets. It encourages meat-eaters to try going vegetarian for at least one day.

More and more people these days are beginning to show concern for the types of foods they eat. According to NAVS, a number of highly esteemed health organizations, such as the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society and the World Health Organization, as well as many doctors and dieticians, recommend reducing the consumption of animal protein and saturated fat, which are profuse in meat, and cholesterol, found only in meat and other animal products. Many health complications have been associated with a diet high in animal products, such as cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke, which are the primary causes of death for both men and women in the United States, diabetes and several different cancers.

Rob Ramos, co-owner with his wife Lauren Ramos, of Living on the Veg, a vegan cuisine restaurant in Beach Haven Gardens, has been maintaining a vegetarian diet for nearly 20 years. He said it was for health reasons that he gave up eating red meat during his senior year of

high school. But it wasn’t until a few years later that he decided eating meat was a moral issue and stopped eating all types of meat, including poultry and fish.

Living on the Veg is a classified vegan restaurant. Except for minimal amounts of honey found in some of the breads and wraps served with sandwiches, no animal products, including meat, dairy or eggs are offered on the menu. Soy derivatives such as tofu and tempeh, beans and seitan, made from wheat gluten, are common animal product substitutes found on the restaurant’s list of options. Surprisingly, Ramos said more than half of the restaurant’s customers are meat eaters.

“We started the restaurant for vegans and vegetarians that either vacation on Long Beach Island or live locally because years ago, the closest vegetarian restaurant was all the way in Belmar. But even to this day I’d say 70 percent of our customers aren’t even vegetarians. I think they just like having the option to eat something different, which is pretty cool. And over the years people have become more conscious of what they’re putting in their body. So I think this restaurant here is kind of like a no-brainer for people; it just makes sense to try something a little bit different,” he added.

During the off-season, Living on the Veg offers a “Meatless Monday” special. Its purpose is to encourage people to cut meat out of at least one meal during the week. Ramos calls it “a step in the right direction.”

Ryan Morrill

CHOMP ON THIS: Mike Greenblatt, co-owner of Pangaea Naturals Health Food Market in Manahawkin, says he’s been eating a vegan diet for more than 20 years. Local, certified organic produce is a major part of his fare.

Since becoming vegetarian, Ramos said he hasn’t experienced any heartburn or indigestion, his energy levels are higher and he rarely gets sick.

“Basically, your body puts out what you put in,” he explained.

“Vegetarian food is lighter and easier to digest. When you’re done eating, you feel satisfied, and you’re ready to do things. You don’t have to take a nap. It makes such a difference. It’s crazy, but it makes a lot of sense,” he added.

Mike Greenblatt, co-owner with his wife, Becky Tarditi, of Pangaea Naturals Health Food Market, located in Manahawkin, said he has been eating a vegan diet for at least 20 years. Referring to it as a “clean” diet, he said he doesn’t need to worry about supplementing with vitamins because he gets all the nutrients he needs from eating the

Three Jostle for Seats on Little Egg BOE While Tuckerton’s Race Is Uncontested

I

n the Little Egg Harbor Elementary School District, four candidates are vying for three seats on the school board. Incumbents Robert Wood and Carmine Cimino face off against newcomer Matthew Maleski and former board member Lorraine Perrino.

Two candidates were interviewed and appear in alphabetical order.

Matthew Maleski does not have a published phone number and could not be contacted, and Perrino did not return phone calls as of press deadline.

Carmine Cimino has the distinction of being the longest continuously sitting board member on the Little Egg Harbor Board of education – about 10 years, he remembered – and has served as vice president of the board for a term. Cimino is partowner of Monroe’s Marina in the Mystic Island section of the township and has lived in Little Egg for 35 of his 54 years. He is married and has two adult children, both of whom went through the Little Egg Harbor district and graduated from Pinelands Regional High School.

Cimino heads the Building and Grounds committee and wants to continue on the board because he gets “personal satisfaction from doing

community service,” he said. “We just finished the Early Childhood Center; that was a big one for us. And the next big job is negotiating a new contract with the teachers.” Cimino said that since his wife is a custodian in the district, he couldn’t be part of the negotiating team.

Cimino figures he puts in about 10 hours a month in his volunteer position. “It’s not just going to meetings.

There are committees, and we have a lot of reading to do at home.

“I enjoy it, and I just want to keep going,” he said.

Lorraine Perrino last sat on the school board in 2010 and served for two three-year terms. She has been a resident of Little Egg Harbor for 33 years after moving to Mystic Island from Queens, N.Y. She works for Atlantic City Electric, a job she has had for 29 years.

Perrino’s two daughters went to the George J. Mitchell School when it was Little Egg’s only elementary school. She currently has a grandchild in the district.

Incumbent Bob Wood responded to questions by e-mail. Wood retired from the Hamilton School District, Mercer County, as maintenance supervisor for 23 schools. He vol-

unteered for the Little Egg Harbor district’s ad hoc building committee nine years ago. “I believe I have been and will continue to be instrumental in seeing that the facilities remain safe and clean for our students and staff. My protection of the taxpayer is evidenced by my overseeing of the construction of three buildings (changing the two elementary schools into K-12 schools and the recently opened Early Childhood Center) plus renovations. We brought them in on time and under budget – as we did the solar-powered system and energy conservation programs. I hope to continue with these initiatives with the present school board.”

Wood and his wife, Marla, are both retired and have lived in Little Egg for 14 years. They have a son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter and nine grandchildren, none of whom resides in the district.

“My accomplishments in the district have been the privatization of the food service, which has turned out to be very profitable, whereas it was operating at a deficit. The solar program has resulted in approximately $100,000 in savings, and the energy conservation program saved $78,000 – all beneficial to the taxpayers,” said Wood.

local, certified organic produce carried in-store, as well as from other essential foods such as whole grains, nuts and beans.

“Sometimes people worry about getting enough protein, but you get protein from a lot of different stuff, not just meat,” said Greenblatt.

“Leafy greens have a lot of protein.

Even peas are a big source of protein. A lot of people use soy and tofu and tempeh and a lot of products that are processed from soy. I get a lot of protein from nuts, seeds and from beans.

“I don’t eat a lot of soy because soy has some negative side effects, especially in women. It can cause an imbalance of hormones in your body. So you have to be careful about the amount of soy you consume. Even during the hippie days when I was a vegan, when there wasn’t even a name for this kind

of diet, I was mainly eating rice and vegetables. But soy wasn’t a big part of my diet. It’s not always necessary,” he remarked.

Pangaea caters to all types of vegetarians, including lacto ovo vegetarians, whose diet excludes meat, fish and poultry but includes dairy products and eggs; ovo vegetarians, who eat dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese, but exclude meat, fish, poultry, eggs and any foods made with eggs; pescetarians, who omit all meat except fish; vegans, who abstain from all animal products and byproducts, including those in clothing and accessories; and raw vegans, whose diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit so as not to have lost a significant amount of nutritional value.

Accident Sends Five to Hospital on Monday As of Tuesday afternoon, Ship Bottom police were stll investigating an early Monday evening accident that sent two drivers and three passengers to the hospital.

Patrolman Tim Butler said that at approximately 6 p.m., a gray Jeep driven

by Raymond Brown, 56, of Burlington, was driving east on Ninth Street (Route 72). Butler said when Brown attempted to pass through the Central Avenue intersection, his vehicle struck a southbound white Honda minivan driven by Peter Hnat, age not given, of Surf City, at the time the light was changing.

Butler said Brown’s car had one passenger, who had to be extricated by the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. Hnat’s vehicle had two passengers. Three rigs from the Beach Haven First Aid Squad and one Surf City First Aid Squad vehicle transported the drivers and passengers to Southern Ocean Medical Center.

The officer said that the force of the impact sent the minivan over a landscaped area and into the Wawa parking lot, where it struck a parked car.

Butler said both cars were totaled and the car in the parking lot sustained minor damage. He said he could not comment on the extent of the injuries.

“We’re still trying to piece this together, talking with witnesses,” he said.

“As of now, no tickets have been issued.”

During my three years on the board, we have received the High Achievement Award for a school district from the state.

“Issues facing the district in the future will be the new evaluation and tenure processes. Additionally, more in-depth technology education will

have to be incorporated.”

Stockton College Places High in School Rankings T

he Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, which has 1,331 undergraduates from Ocean County, is moving on up in the rankings. With, as they used to say when people closely followed the Billboard Top 100, a bullet!

U.S. News and World Report released its 2013 Best Colleges special issue last week, and Stockton was ranked 47th on the Best Regional Universities in the North category. It was also ranked 11th on the Public Colleges and Universities in the North list.

The results thrilled Stockton College President Herman J. Saatkamp.

“We are pleased to be highly ranked again

by U.S. News and World Report’s ‘America’s Best Colleges’ edition,” he said. “We have consistently progressed into the rankings, making the Top Tier in 2007 and improving within that tier to our highest rankings ever. We have made this improvement while being compared to truly exceptional peer institutions.”

Some explanations are in order. U.S. News and World Report divides the nation’s hundreds and hundreds of colleges and universities into several different categories when compiling its well-respected ratings. There are 281 “National Universities,” large schools both public and private that offer a wide range of undergrad majors and master’s and doctoral degrees. Then there are 251 “National Liberal Arts Colleges,” which emphasize undergraduate education.

“Regional Colleges” also put the emphasis on the undergrad experience but tend to draw students from instate or nearby states, thus

Some Colleges Offer Learning Tuition Free

By RICK MELLERUP ollege sure can be an expensive proposition these days, yet many people aren’t aware there are some fine – some even top-tier – institutions out there that students can attend for free.

Everybody knows about the big military academies, West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy. Fewer people know about the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., but like the “Big Three,” it is highly selective; indeed, students wishing to attend any of the four schools require a congressional nomination.

But the nation’s fifth military academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., often seems to be a well-kept secret.

Like the other military academies, it isn’t truly free; a five-year service commitment after graduation is attached. But students not only don’t have to pay tuition, but also receive an $11,150 annual stipend.

The USCGA, the smallest of the service academies with about 200 students graduating each year, doesn’t require a congressional appointment. It is incredibly selective, however, with just 300 students being accepted out of a yearly pool of some 5,000 applicants.

The Coast Guard Academy produces not only Coast Guard officers, but scholars. Approximately 80 percent of USCGA grads go on to attend graduate schools, with most paid for by the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard Academy places a heavy emphasis on math and science. So does the next college we’ll take a glance at, New York City’s Cooper Union, best known for being the location of a speech by Abraham Lincoln that introduced him to the world outside of Illinois and propelled him to the presidency.

making them, in the magazine’s eyes, “regional.”

Because there are 370 of them, they are ranked by region – North, South, Midwest and West.

Finally, there are the “Regional Universities,” which offer a full range of undergraduate programs and some graduate degrees but usually not doctorates. Like the Regional Colleges, they also tend to attract students from instate or nearby.

The Regional University group is the magazine’s largest, with 625 schools, so they, too, are broken down into the four regions. Stockton finished 47th out of the 180 ranked in the North group. And when the public schools were separated from the pack, Stockton was ranked 11th in the North.

That’s impressive enough. But when you look at the trajectory Stockton is on, being ranked 47th out of 180 is downright amazing.

So as not to rub dirt in the faces of lesser schools, U.S. News and World Report ranked just the top 133 of the 180 Regional Universities in the North. The remainder were not ranked but listed alphabetically and called “second tier.”

But from 1983, when the magazine launched its special issue, through 2010 there were actually four tiers. Stockton, not too long ago, used to be at the bottom of the pile.

“Our ranking is significant, especially considering we were listed in the fourth tier in 2003 and the third tier in 2005,” said Saatkamp. “We bypassed the second tier altogether and have consistently moved up within the top tier. It is fitting that Stockton, a public institution offering academic excellence, diversity, and affordability, is mentioned in the company of such fine colleges and universities nationwide.”

Many other New Jersey institutions of higher education also did quite well in the U.S. News and World Report rankings.

Princeton tied with Harvard at the top of the National University list. Rutgers was 68th (remember, out of 281).

New Jersey schools, though, made an especially large impact in the Regional University category. The College of New Jersey was ranked sixth out of the 180 Northern schools ranked.

Rowan University was 19th. Rutgers-Camden was 20th, Ramapo College was 26th, tied with Rider University. Monmouth University was ranked 37th. And when the public schools were separated, New Jersey had five in the top 15! The top Regional University in the North? Villanova.

Gov. Signs ‘Hooked on Fishing – Not on Drugs’ Bill

G

ov. Chris Christie has signed legislation sponsored by the 9th District’s Sen. Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove to establish a “Hooked on Fishing - Not on Drugs” program within the N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife. Both houses of the Legislature unanimously passed the initiative, which encourages children to avoid drug use.

Under this measure, the nationally recognized HOFNOD program, developed by the Future Fisherman Foundation, will be established on a statewide basis, with the Division of Fish and Wildlife shadowing the pilot program implemented in Ocean County in 2000. To the maximum extent possible, the division will implement and operate the program in every county in the state.

As the 9th District legislators noted in a joint statement released after the enactment of their measure, HOFNOD’s core curriculum includes providing children with angling know-how, teaching conservation ethics and social skills, and promoting self-esteem. “By design, the program is versatile and can be offered in several ways,

as an after-school program, integrated into the school curriculum, or it can be offered by groups outside of school, like churches and service organizations.

“Protecting our children from the self-destructive and dangerous criminal elements of drug use is an issue that transcends political affiliation,” the 9th District legislators stated. “New Jersey will now join the more than 30 other states that have implemented the ‘Hooked on Fishing – Not on Drugs’ initiative as an effective and innovative approach to deterring drug use among our children.

“New Jersey is an ideal location for the program, with its 127-mile coastline and wide array of streams and rivers. Our state also has a strong fishing tradition, demonstrated by the groups who testified in support of the program, which included the Recreational Fishing Alliance, the New Jersey Recreation and Parks Association, the Jersey Coast Anglers Association, the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance, the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and the United Bowhunters of New Jersey.”

The Drug Enforcement and Demand Reduc-

tion Fund – a statutory account established to receive fines and penalties from convicted drug offenders that are then used to support stateauthorized drug and alcohol abuse abatement programs – will serve as the program’s funding source, with a $200,000 appropriation to support the cost of implementing the program.

“Key provisions of the law will help to ensure that the funds dedicated to this program are used responsibly and effectively,” the legislators added. “To monitor the program’s effectiveness, the Division of Fish and Wildlife is required to provide an annual report to the legislature. The report will include information on the number of school districts or municipalities that have implemented the program and the number of pupils that are participating in the program.

Information will also be compiled on the effectiveness of the program in terms of drug usage avoidance or incidents among participating students.”

The provisions of the “Hooked on Fishing – Not on Drugs” initiative take effect immediately under the newly enacted law. —J.K.-H.

Southern X-Country Girls in the Running For Yet Another Title

By RICK MELLERUP ast year the Southern Regional High School girls cross country team did something special: it won an Ocean County Championship.

So, what will 2012 bring?

After all, the Rams lost a number of seniors to graduation, including Rachel Heussner, who is now running for the University of North Carolina, Hannah Neustadt, now competing for Florida Atlantic University; Elisse Jeffries-Ramirez; and Rachel Marino.

Well, as of Monday, the girls are looking mighty good. They squeaked past Shore Conference rival Jackson Memorial, 27-28, to up their dual meet record to 3-0. And according to head coach Brian Zatorski, they had also competed in the Cherokee Challenge in Marlton earlier in the season and finished seventh overall in an invitational meet that drew 65 teams from New Jersey, New York and Delaware.

“This year’s team is very talented,” said Zatorski, who has coached cross country teams at Southern for 15 years. “But I would have to say our greatest strength lies in our depth.

Our varsity (top seven runners) and JV squads will be very competitive at all levels this season. If we can stay healthy, I can see our team being in the conversation for a repeat at the county level, top three in the Shore Conference and top two at the (South Jersey Group IV State) Sectional. It’s still very early and there are many miles to run before we get to the championship meets, but things so far are right on schedule.”

So, how did the team make up for

L

all that loss of graduating talent?

“Our most improved runner from last year, at this point, could very well be junior Jami DiFillippo,” said the head coach. “She was a regular in our top seven last season, but has really put in a lot of work this summer and has regularly been our team’s No. 2 runner in workouts. If she keeps that up in races, it makes us a very strong opponent in the two-to-five scoring area.”

Sure enough, DiFillippo ran a good race on Monday, finishing fifth in the field and third among Southern’s runners, with a time of 20:15, behind only race winner Jillian Smith (19:36) and Danielle Smolyn (20:10).

FAST AND STEADY: (Clockwise from top left) Southern competes in a meet against Jackson Sept. 24 in what is a solid Shore Conference division. Head coach Brian Zatorski leads the girls squad during the meet. Proven leaders and improved runners have kept the defending Ocean County champions strong despite seniors lost to graduation. Southern edged past Jackson at the finish line, winning the dual meet 27-28, to stay undefeated.

NJ Run for the Fallen to Honor 17 Local War Vets

T

his weekend’s fourth annual NJ Run for the Fallen is a three-day, 165-mile memorial run up the state, from Cape May to Holmdel, ending at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial. Midday Saturday, as the run makes its way through the area, the runners will make stops at various “hero markers” throughout Southern Ocean County.

The run is an apolitical remembrance and reflection to honor every New Jersey servicemember killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and New Dawn.

A team of active-duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard runners will run the entire distance from Cape May to Holmdel at an

8-minute military pace. Every mile is dedicated to a different fallen hero, and groups of three runners carrying three flags will run 7-mile legs, stopping to present the flags at each “hero marker.”

Below are the names and locations for each hero marker from Mystic Islands to Barnegat. Each anticipated arrival time is approximate, as the journey on foot may change the schedule slightly throughout the day.

Continued from Page 54 DiFillippo will be pushed by a pair of runners who are new to the cross country program.

“Melana Hammel is a standout 800m runner for us on the track, making her cross country debut, from soccer, for us this season,” said Zatorski. “She has been a regular in our top seven, varsity runners and is getting better and better each week.

“Another runner worth noting is freshman Sadie Harrigle. Sadie has been improving by leaps and bounds and has moved into the ‘A’ training group. She’s young and relatively new to the sport, so her overall training mileage is still a little lower than her teammates’. However, she may have just as much talent as anybody on our team when the training catches up in late October.”

Indeed, Harrigle already made her mark on Monday, finishing 10th overall with a time of 21:20 (the other Southern top 10 finisher was Courtney Maracvewski, who was seventh overall in a time of 20:19).

So with proven leaders such as Smith, improved runners such as DiFillippo, and newcomers such as Hammel and Harrigle, Southern

55 The SandPaper/Wednesday, September 26, 2012

SR Cross Country

seems to have made up for the stars it lost to graduation.

Zatorski isn’t cocky, but he feels his team should be in the thick of things all fall.

“Predictions in our sport are tough because we walk such a fine line,” said the veteran coach.

“If one of the girls has a bad race on championship day it could mean the difference between first and fifth. Our division, A South, is loaded with talent and we seem to run into solid programs at every championship stop of the season.

That being said, I think we are as good as any team out there. And if we can keep everybody healthy and training well, we will be part of the conversation all the way through the state level.

As good as we were last year, I think this year’s team is better.”

Southern has an angel in its midst as well, in the form of Danielle Tauro, Southern’s greatest track and cross country athlete ever: an All-State athlete, State Champion, Penn Relays Champion and Millrose Games Champion in high school. Tauro went on to be an All-American in college at the University of Michigan (just as impressive, she won Academic All-Big Ten honors). She’s back, serving as a volunteer assistant coach. If the Rams need inspiration, they certainly don’t have to look too far!

What will 2012 bring? Probably a lot of headlines.

WIPEOUT: On a high note, some of the waves this week were gems. But the others were mushy and just closed out on the sandbar. Water remains mild in the face of chilly west winds.

D

id you hear? The iPhone 5 came out this week. The new iPhone is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than the previous iPhone.

I can’t tell you what a relief that is. Recently, all I can think about is how damn cumbersome this credit card-sized computer is that I’ve been carrying around in my pocket. Every time I check a work e-mail from the beach, I find it so taxing to raise the heavy old phone. Every call

that tells me the wind has switched and saves me a drive down the Island is a chore to answer.

Cue the dramatic music.

“With this unique relationship people have with their iPhone, we take changing it really seriously,” said Macintosh’s senior VP of design in a British accent for a video on the Apple web site. “We don’t want to …”

Then comes a long, dramatic pause. “… to just make a new phone. We want to make a much better phone.”

You would think he’s curing cancer.

And as with every new iPhone, people lined up around the block. Hey, if you don’t get the 4-inch retina display until next week, you might as well go back to drawing in caves. There were even a few idiots who made up songs about the new A6 Chip. How can we expect our children to become critical thinkers when they can download the entire “Twilight” series in half a minute?

But don’t worry. Our consumerism insanity has only begun. CVS is already fully stocked with Christmas crap.

We’re at the point where what’s going on virtually is more important than what’s happening in front of us. Groups of friends make plans to hang out and then spend the whole time fixated on that tiny screen. If you find yourself thumbtyping your “status” more than twice a day, it says an awful lot about your real life status.

The VP is right about one thing: Our phones are the objects we use most in our lives, from text messages about the arrival of a new baby to buying the new Springsteen record. And compared to the vast majority of the products and services we pay for, Apple believes in this thing called quality. I’ve had to use a PC for certain work over the years, and that thing might as well be a pet rock. On the other hand, my wife and I bought a used eMac in 2003 and both launched our businesses on the same machine. When it was time to upgrade, we’ve gone to new Mac desktops, iPods, Airports and MacBooks. But Continued on Page 60

Surfers Make Another Save Over Weekend Continued from Page 58 that original eMac (which looked so space-age at the time) is still running.

The iPhone was a natural progression that keeps it all seamless. We waited for the second generation instead of paying twice the money for twice the glitches. Suddenly technology allowed you to be on a boat, checking the surf or out for a paddle, essentially taking your office with you.

The most basic iPhone is still a miracle to me, even if everyone in the world calls their friends to tell them how good Holgate is breaking on a Sunday.

These days, an iPhone will run you $199, and it’s worth every penny. Unfortunately, now the phone controls us. A common-sense estimate says you’d use that machine about 45 minutes a day. But those smart folks at Mac know what they’re doing. They’ve taken what is essentially a tool and added all these fun gadgets – portals that bring you pianist cat videos, virtual slingshots for shooting birds at pigs, applications that rate your sexual adequacies, and access to social networks that allow you to telecast every mundane thought and photos of every drink you order as if you’re a celebrity. (A bar manager friend had to explain to hipsters all summer

that they have to pay for their drinks before Instagramming them.)

But folks are busy getting double-word, triple-letter scores, leaving angry reviews at Yelp, and reading that Rush Limbaugh blames feminists for smaller average penis sizes. That means two hours a day, maybe more, using that phone. All that frivolous data eventually wears down the marvelous machine – and you have to pony up $199 for a new one that much sooner.

Smart phones, stupid humans.

Hopefully you didn’t spend too much time on Pintrest Mobile to enjoy some of the amazing waves and weather we’ve had this week.

Last week’s column we were anticipating our first solid windswell of the year, and it actually worked out. Last Wednesday the wind went northwest to clean up a healthy south swell.

And while we had to work around erratic tides and a little too much sideshore in the wind at times, at least we didn’t have closeouts. Love windswells; love ’em.

This was our first legitimate south swell of the season, and I can’t say it disappointed. The wind switched early on Wednesday morning.

The fear was that the northwest breeze was go-

ing to have too much north in it, and there were times that it did. We have to remember that now that summer is over, the wind means business. A few degrees off west/northwest can ruin things when it gets over 12 knots.

Coming out of the early-morning low tide, there were a few spots that offered draining barrels, pretty heavy from what I saw. Unfortunately, the incoming tide made it a little fat by late morning. I actually checked after surfing, and it was a 5.5-foot high tide.

It jumped the escarpments that have set up on most beaches this fall.

Even at dead high, there were some walls, long waves compared to the one-hit wonders of hurricane swells, good for getting your cutback wired. When the tide dropped back out, there were more than a few options to surf. That’s another plus over groundswell. The wind eventually went northeast but stayed light enough for some fun ripplable waves in the evening. There were even a few peaks on Thursday night.

And no sooner had that swell died than we were eyeballing the next one.

An offshore low interacted with the super high pressure that rolled onto the East Coast last Friday, creating a good amount of fetch pushing back toward us. The last three weeks have seen a good amount of groundswell, Jack Reynolds but we’ll take it. This one arrived Sunday morning at 10-second intervals, which is a good bit less than the 16-second period we had during Leslie. Perhaps Saturday’s south winds helped to break up those lines, but Sunday morning was all sorts of fun, with some straight offshore winds.

Tuition-Free Continued from Page 52 Cooper Union specializes in art, especially architecture, and engineering. Talk about being highly selective – it has an acceptance rate of less than 5 percent for its art and engineering schools (it likes to brag that rate is “lower than Yale’s”). Plus it has a location in lower Manhattan.

The Cooper Union is truly a free school. Every student receives a full scholarship. There are no strings attached – no service commitments, no paybacks, no nothing. This for a school that is definitely top-tier academically and, in 2010, was rated by Newsweek as the most desirable small school (fewer than 2,500 undergrads) in the entire country. It also came in at number five on the list of most-desirable urban schools and number seven on the overall list.

Another college that made that magazine’s Top 10 among small schools in 2010 was The College of the Ozarks, nicknamed “Hard Work U” because students work on campus rather than paying tuition. These aren’t jobs that require only a few hours a week, like many college jobs, but 15 hours a week plus two 40-hour weeks during breaks. But, the 1,300 or so students pay no tuition. A summer work program is available to cover room and board costs.

Now, the College of the Ozarks, located in Point Lookout, Mo., is a Christian liberal arts college. It has a no-tolerance policy regarding drugs and alcohol. That doesn’t mean, however, that it produces nothing but preachers. It has more than 30 academic majors and always gravitates toward the top of annual lists

Uniforms Continued from Page 47 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. On Saturday in the Tuckerton area, the runners will stop to remember Spec. Michael Hook at 11:40 a.m. at American Legion Post 493; at 11:50 a.m. they will remember Sgt. Trista Moretti at the flagpole in front of the Redman Hall; and at noon they will pause at the National Guard Armory and remember Spec. Marlon Jackson.

Evans urged the public to come out and show their support, as they did last year.

During the decoy show, members of the Pride and Celebration Committee will be selling soda and snacks outside the mayor’s office, located in the Saltbox at Tuckerton Seaport.

Black Eyed Susans Continued from Page 68 graduated more than 20 years ago. They first met at The Yellowfin in Surf City 14 years ago.

Said Chris, “I knew from day one I had to be comfortable with what I knew before; we’ve done what we’ve done here. I’d much rather learn, cook, travel, see other places and ideas and build my own concept, based on my own personal tastes.”

Chris has cooked internationally at private villas in Spain, and as a personal chef at a winery in South Africa.

Regarding Long Beach Island, “It pulls you back; it’s a love/hate relationship,” Chris joked.

“I’ve yet to find any place that could top a September day like today here. It doesn’t exist.

I’ve looked.”

Meanwhile, raw bar chef Chuck Formoso cracked away at jumbo shrimp and hefty sea scallops with the diameter of hamburgers, picked up fresh from Viking Village docks that morning, to form a ceviche appetizer that is light and refreshing, allowing the full flavor of the sea to flow through.

“We’ve been really lucky to get beautiful tuna up in Viking Village probably every other day,” he said. “We have so much of it we try to find really nice outlets for it, and people seem to love it. It’s a pretty good problem to have: too much of a great product.”

The seemingly exotic grilled octopus, imported from Portugal, becomes a welcome, spicy comfort food after being braised for seven hours and then lightly grilled, placed over slices

produced by U.S. News and World Report, The Princeton Review and Forbes.

The fact is that there are many highly rated colleges in the U.S. that charge no tuition.

There’s the Webb Institute in Glen Cove, N.Y., a highly specialized school that offers only one undergrad degree, in naval engineering and naval architecture. It has only 80 students, a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio and a 100 percent job placement rate.

Ever hear about it?

There’s the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, which offers merit-based full tuition scholarships regardless of financial need. It is highly competitive, what with its 165 students, and highly respected, with a list of famous musicians, conductors and composers that is the length of an NBA star’s leg.

Ever hear of it?

How about Berea College, another Kentucky school, which was the first interracial and co-ed college in the American South? It’s another highly selective college but another “Top 376” school according to The Princeton Review. Berea offers degrees in 28 fields of study, packages federal and state grants with its own financial assistance to pay every student’s tuition, and offers a work program to pay for room and board.

Ever hear about it?

Parents, hit the Internet and look for these opportunities, of which there are quite a few more. Kids, ask your guidance counselor and, most of all, study, study, study.

There is, of course, no such thing as a free lunch. But there are top-grade free college educations available, if students and parents are willing to put in the work.

Councilwoman Sue Marshall said plans for the town’s Halloween celebration at the Seaport are fi nalized. Because of the Route 9 dam construction; it will be contained in the Seaport rather than be a walk through town as it has been in years past.

This Saturday, Sept. 22, the Old Home Society requests volunteers to help clean up the Greenwood Cemetery on Route 539 from 9 a.m. until approximately 1 p.m. Volunteers should bring their hand tools for trimming and can spend as much or as little time as they wish.

An heirloom tomato and basil salad is so hearty it’s as if you can taste the flavor of the earth from which it came.

Even surplus supplies of vegetables and fruit are pickled while still at the peak of freshness and served up in an appetizer assortment that features everything from shiseido peppers to strawberries, emphasizing color and yielding a tangy bite and sharpness, as well as sweetness.

The cooking style is reflected in the colorful decor and atmosphere of the restaurant itself.

Works from local artists line the walls and are for sale, if one inquires. Menus and to-go boxes use recycled paper.

The restaurant looks to feature new seasonal items for fall, but get them while you can – it closes at the end of October and will not reopen until Mother’s Day. Keep an eye out for dishes featuring duck, pork and fall vegetables soon, with monkfish and skate seafood entrees expected as the water gets colder in October.

Despite the recent accolade, Chris and Ashley remain humble about the recent honor.

They are simply happy with the expansion of their customer base beyond the north end of LBI. “We put in a lot of hard work,” said Ashley. “We’re not looking to win any awards or anything. We just want to serve good food and have people come back a lot, and have people be very happy and eat good, classic, freshlycooked food, which is hard to find, even though it’s very simple.”

MMA Fighter Continued from Page 49 senior year, tragedy struck, literally, in the form of a car accident in which a distracted student driver rear-ended Barrett’s vehicle at 50 miles per hour, leaving him with serious back injuries and causing him to take a medical leave from school despite his best efforts to continue.

“It turned my world upside down. Over half my school was covered by an academic scholarship and that got used up.”

Barrett had plans to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and move on to law school.

Instead, he found himself working menial jobs trying to save enough money to get back to school and finish, but to no avail.

“It was an uphill battle. I felt like I was always chasing numbers. I was just miserable and kind of lost. All the friends I was in college with had great jobs and were getting married and having kids. I took a step back and did a lot of self-reflection, soul searching, and meditating and realized the one thing in life that always made me happy was competing,” said Barrett – a lifelong athlete and a star in football, track and wrestling at Pinelands Regional High School, as well as a starting wrestler on the college level.

“It wasn’t a light decision,” said Barrett on starting his MMA career, though he admits few sports offer a post-college age adult as much to seriously compete in. “My favorite sport was wrestling; what you put in it you got out of it.

I wrestled for 13 years but I was never allowed to hit anybody. So when they said, ‘Hey, you’re allowed to go hit somebody,’ and I was learning something new, it was like a kid with a new toy you want to try it out.

“With fighting it’s all you; there’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. One of you is coming out of there with your hand up.”

Barrett’s MMA career began in November 2006 with a fight he entered with just a few months training. His professional record stands at 7-5, with one draw and no contest. Barrett is quick to defend losses as lessons learned during what was a tumultuous, mid-career period that included health issues exacerbated by cutting too much weight – or simply politics.

“I had a couple bad calls when I was clearly dominating or winning. (Once) I got cut ’cause I was dehydrated, and even after still dominating the fight it was stopped because of the cut three minutes later.”

With no more than five fights under his belt, Barrett took a fight on 10 days notice against Alex Shoenauer, who was ranked 30th in the world at the time.

“Even when I destroyed him – where clearly the stats were one sided – they gave him a split decision. When you got Randy Couture in your corner, it kind of helps.”

Still, two of Barrett’s heavyweight title matches this year were rematches and served to erase any blemishes on his record as a heavyweight.

He continues to train with several different camps, including Muay Thai veteran Phil Nurse in New York, to his first trainers, John Twaddell and Al Haldewang of Barnegat, whose Ronin Grappling System he continues to train with.

Barrett takes from each and adds his own spin

Ballanger Creek Continued from Page 50 “We want the public to explore the site and see the wildlife: waterfowl, kingfishers, otters and lots of deer,” said Wurst. The site is open for hunting in the fall, but since it is so close to Route 9, only the more remote acres are practical hunting areas. Wurst said when Hurricane Irene came through a year ago, the earthen and beaver dams were overpowered by rainfall and collapsed, and the impoundments are no longer pond-like, so are unable to support fishing or kayaking. “It’s returned to more of a creek, and we may let it stay that way. It depends on what the state wants to do,” said Wurst. The hiking trails are short and doable, and there is parking within the site that is just off Route 9 across from Jericho Road.

— Pat Johnson patjohnson@thesandpaper.net

to what has collectively come to be known as Brutal MMA. The name itself came from a friend asked to describe the common thread throughout Barrett’s fights, win, lose or draw. “I’ve never had a boring fight. Everything I was nicknamed growing up was taken several times over, so I wanted something different that would stand out, that no one else had.

“I definitely have a lot of support and a lot of people that follow me. On those days when you’re a little beat, banged up, and run down, it helps you push a little further and get through it.”

Barrett is less candid concerning the money one makes as an MMA fighter that wins three championships in a single year. “It all depends on what you negotiate for the fight and whether there’s a win bonus. It wasn’t a great amount of money,” said Barrett, who adds that often earnings are based on the following one can bring to a match.

“I do a lot of sacrificing to do what I do. I do some side jobs here and there, ’cause I have to travel a lot to train and to get more experienced guys to train with. I’m always looking for some more sponsors to help me keep going and get my next fight.”

Sponsors for the Aug. 25 title bout were Back to Basics 100% Natural Home Products; Pine Bay Liquors in Tuckerton; Jersey Royalty Clothing; and Rick Collins, Esq. Law Firm. Those interested in sponsorship or to follow when and where Barrett’s next battle will be should search for “Brutal” Brendan Barrett on Facebook or head to brutalbrendanbarrett.com.

Flood Plan Continued from Page 48 the whole of Ocean Acres lies within the Pinelands District. Taylor said the plan is designed to satisfy two requirements or concerns of the Pinelands Commission. One is a wildlife study to determine the presence or absence of threatened or endangered species. The other is the fact that the basin is not an expressly permitted use in the forested Pinelands zone, although as Taylor pointed out, permitted uses include residential uses, infrastructure improvements, roadway construction and even airport expansion. He said he feels a memorandum of agreement with the commission would resolve that.

The N.J. Environmental Infrastructure Trust, in cooperation with the state Department of Environmental Protection, has a financing program to fund projects designed to remove pollutants and improve water quality in the Barnegat Bay watershed. Stormwater improvements that benefit the bay, such as the basin project, are eligible for up to 50 percent principal forgiveness, plus 25 percent a zero-interest loan and 25 percent a market-rate loan.

Mayor John Spodofora described the proposed solution as “absolutely, without question, the most effective thing.”

“I think this is going to work. … We are going to get this done,” he said. “This is the right answer; it’s the right thing to do.”

Vegetarian Day Continued from Page 51 A Pangaea employee, Alexandra Dunne, said she stopped eating meat almost a year ago. Influenced by friends and family members, she said she realized how adverse the effects of eating too much meat are on the body, as well as the ill effects of factory farming on the environment, the population and the animals themselves.

“I also had the influence of my uncle, who’s been a vegetarian for 40-something years. He made me see how worthless it is to have all of those farms devoted to growing food for the cows,” she said. “If my facts are correct, we have more cows in this country than we do humans, and that contributes greatly to the methane gas problem. When you start doing the research, you just learn more and more, and it supports what you’re doing. You feel better and cleaner, and karmically more comfortable,” she said.

Continued from Page 60 clear that what I do and what Slates does are barely the same sport. He has carried the sport of surfing for almost three decades; I look like I’m dragging a cinder block. However, I love that little Nubster fin. It gives a quad-fin a nice bit of extra hold without sacrificing any speed. I gave one of them to Ryan Kelly in Barnegat Light, and he swears by it. To my knowledge, none of the local shops carry it, but they should be able to order the replicas offered by both FCS and Future Fin systems.

I actually wound up talking this week to Mattison, who told me, “Kelly breaks down waves into different styles or categories based on the curvature of the face. He knows there are certain rockers that fit in certain waves. He likes the Nubster for a punchy wave with a steeper face, but not like a reefbreak barrel.”

Of course, Slater is a freak. He could probably pick up a discarded shoe left by a homeless person under the trestle at San Onofre and go out and beat half the field. He actually chose to ride a quad specifically for the lefts, when most of us struggle backside on quads. But it’s interesting that the top surfer in the world – and no one even comes close in terms of career accomplishments – is willing to experiment with different boards.

No one else will even consider anything outside standard surfboard design. He certainly makes it all more interesting to watch, but what I find interesting is that this is all stuff that the average surfer can use. As opposed to the past where pros simply rode shorter, narrower and thinner boards, Slater's experimentation can translate into you trying different things. The guy seems to know a thing or two.

Now that the string of waves has extended from late summer into the official start of fall, I think it’s safe to say we’re having a good season.

We’ll probably have a few down days here, but look for another moderate south swell to maybe build on Sunday.

Last week we mentioned Ship Bottom local Kyle Calandra’s big recent win at the Skim Bash in Sea Bright. The surfer/skimboarder turned pro for Exile Skimboards.

I also heard that a few of our LBI women turned in some good results, too. Cedar Run’s Siobahn McAullife took first in the Womens and Steph Magallanes of Beach Haven West took second. You may have heard this summer that the girls took second and third respectively at the Victoria World Championships of Skimboarding. The ladies also got some good news.

“We found out this would be our last amateur contest. There will be a Womens’ Professional division in every contest on the East Coast now, which is awesome because if we place in the top four, we'll win some money. So Steph and

I, along with seven other girls, qualified to be in that division,” reported McAullife.

The result also means Magallanes made the Skim USA Team again (one of four members and the only female) and will be competing in several events out of the country again.

And following a week of coaching and competing at the ESA Eastern Championships on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Pat “Surfcat” Emery is the 2012 East Coast Seniors champ.

The Manahawkin surfer and carpenter now has four East Coast titles. Emery is also the Central New Jersey ESA director, and his surfers, Jess Kwiecinski and Andrew Rooney, won their respective divisions. Pat really deserves a lot of credit for putting in a great season (as well as my neighbor’s windows). Good work.

It’s been a good couple of weeks for Jetty team skate Ronnie Kessner as well. Kessner placed in the top 12 at the Damn Am Canada, which gets him a spot at the Tampa Am, the biggest amateur event in the country. He returned to win $500 for “Best Line” at the Liberty Music Group’s Back 2 School Skate Jam up in Aberdeen.

These are some busy months for Jetty. They will present the Swell Come Again Party this Friday night at Joe Pop’s with Farias. Local post hardcore outfit Triumph & Tragedy will open for Atlantic City’s thrash core stalwart Jumpship. On Saturday, Jetty will be down at the Chowderfest Merchants Mart with some great deals on summer gear.

Jetty will have its annual party at the Black Whale on Sunday, Oct. 7, to pick teams for this year’s Clam Jam. The first potential date for the contest, which takes place in Harvey Cedars, is Oct. 13. A good partner is key to getting through some rounds. You can sign up for the Jam at http://jettylife.com/community/clam-jam-2/6thannual-clam-jam/.

This is the absolute best time of year on this Island of ours. Go ahead and Tweet about Chowderfest or change your profile picture to the fall sun setting over the bay. But don’t overdo it with technology. Just enjoy it.

IN A

Continued from Page 45 when it first came out; the movie was on HBO. Inside of three to four weeks, the album went gold, – then platinum. It was just fantastic timing. It carried over beyond ‘The Dark Side’ to songs like ‘Tender Years’ and the Tough All Over album. John (Cafferty) has been able to write some timeless songs.

“We wrote ‘Tender Years’ before the movie, and a lot of what’s on that soundtrack was what we were already playing as a band. We were a perfect match with (writers/directors) Marty Davidson and Colleen Davidson. And Kenny Vance, who produced the music, thought we’d be perfect for it,” Antunes said.

“It’s like seeing a little brother make it big,” said Nocera, who in his career watched a similar transition take place in other bands, including the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. “You work with these bands and it’s interesting to see them afterwards and to see which ones stay the same or which ones change. (With John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band) you would never really know the difference – that they had made it. They just started playing larger venues.

They’ve always been the same band, and always consistent.”

Suzy Yengo, a producer of comedy and concert at Surflight via her agency Catch a Rising Star, picked up the band after meeting them in person following a tribute gig for the late Clarence Clemons (who famously played saxophone in the E Street Band for decades) at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park earlier this year.

“I consider them an iconic band that appeals to a wide range of ages,” said Yengo. “So I spoke to them there and they loved the idea.

I was thrilled!”

“It was a very special bond between him and I,” Antunes said of Clemons. “The whole band was friends with Bruce and E Street, before he was big, and playing places like Long Island and Boston. Our friendship was renewed in 1980 when Bruce and the band sat in with us in 1980 at Toad’s Place, which was like the Stone Pony of New Haven, Connecticut. It was a special time.”

Regarding coming to Beach Haven, “We’re really looking forward to playing there, following Southside Johnny who played there last year (during Chowderfest weekend). The more that show up, the merrier. We have chowderfests (in Rhode Island), also. It’s kind of an everyday thing up here.”

The band will always be an original band, said Antunes. It got its name 40 years ago from late pianist Bobby Cotoia, who took the title from a Benjamin Moore paint color.

“That’s what made us,” Antunes said. “When we went to Asbury the first time, in ’77 or ’78, we played at the Fast Lane. And the Jersey audience had an open heart for originality. We’re not a cover band and we never were. That’s what’s unique between the friendship with us and Southside Johnny and Bruce: there’s a certain amount of commonality.”

Antunes promises the band’s gigs today remain extremely vibrant but still family oriented.

“People are really up and out of their seats. We play with the same fervor in that first big show we did in Poughkeepsie. It gives me goose bumps to know that people still love and care, and here it is 30 years later. There are kids that have had kids that they’ve indoctrinated into the music that they love, and we are happy to be included in that.”

Critics Recognize Black Eyed Susans For Best American Cuisine in the State

OPEN HOUSE: Engaged couples and their entourages can tour The Gables during ‘LBI I Do: A Place to Wed and Woo,’ an open house Oct. 7 at the historic 1880s inn and award-winning restaurant in Beach Haven.

Passage: Gaveling Up From the Deep; Plan a Gables ‘I Do’ A

huge onsite auction at Up From the Deep Shoppes will get under way at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at 901 North Bay Ave. in Beach Haven. This will be one of the more unusual auctions of the area, as the shop is chock-full of nautical antiques and artifacts collected over decades.

“We are retiring,” said owner Murray Sobel of Manahawkin, who operated the store with his wife, Mary. “I’m 77 years old, going on 78, and we’ve just decided it was time to retire.”

The preview is at 9 a.m. indoors the day of the sale. The items will then be brought outdoors for the sale, weather permitting, in the order that they are cataloged, said the auctioneers, Dan and Marilyn Melega of Legacies Old & New Auctions, in a press release this week announcing the sale.

Once the preview is over, no one will be allowed back inside the shop, so plan accordingly, buyers are advised.

In the event of rain, the auction will be held indoors. Public parking will be available across the street in the lot behind Bay Village. Light refreshments at the auction will be provided by Chef Rich Gosser.

Photographs of hundreds of items, as well as terms of sale, can be found on the website, legaciesoldandnew. com. Absentee and phone bidders

are welcome.

To whet the auction-goers’ appetite, here’s only a fraction of the inventory listed: lightship marker light, either from the Ambrose or the Barnegat telescopes; original Queen Elizabeth 2/France sign; spear guns; hard hat dive suit with helmet; large sailing ship anchor; hatch covers; 1850s aft ship railing found on the beach at Keansburg; liberty ship port holes; trunks; original oil paintings; prison art; much more. * * * The Gables Hosts Wedding Open House The Gables has scheduled its first wedding open house since their reopening, offering tasting and tours to newly engaged couples.

(The landmark inn and awardwinning restaurant re-opened in August after a spring and summer of rebuilding from an Easter Sunday blaze that damaged the historic 1880s building.)

“LBI I Do, A Place to Wed & Woo” is a wedding open house to be held Sunday, Oct. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Gables, Centre Street in Beach Haven. Newly engaged couples and their entourages are invited to attend for hors d’oeuvres and refreshments while touring the venue and meeting the staff.

lack Eyed Susans Café in Harvey Cedars is one of the best restaurants in New Jersey with an American-style cuisine, according to the critics at New Jersey Monthly magazine, who gave the restaurant special recognition in its August 2012 annual “Best of ” awards.

Readers chose three awards with votes in that category and 40 others – one for north, central and south Jersey – but critics from the magazine felt it necessary to acknowledge Black Eyed Susans.

“We gave them a very strong review because of the freshness and seasonality of their cooking, which allows the ingredients to really shine in their recipes. You really taste it – the flavor isn’t masked – and the recipes themselves were interesting takes on various traditional dishes,” noted senior editor Eric Levin, who handles all of the publication’s dining coverage.

Ashley Pellegrino and her husband, Chris Sanchez, took over Black Eyed Susans three years ago.

Like the flora adorning its façade, business has blossomed since, as was evident during a recent visit and interview with The SandPaper.

Pellegrino and Sanchez take pride in using as much organic food as possible. They specialize in fresh seafood, most of which is “Viking Fresh” off the boats of Barnegat Light, just to the north. This year, they expanded with a first-come, first-served counter to alleviate what has become a blooming demand for table reservations. They dropped breakfast and lunch to focus on dinner and also catering.

“Organics are really hard to get, so a lot of the farms we use are organic, but not all of them,” said Ashley. Most of their produce comes from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, thanks to a connection with Zone 7, a company that sources restaurants and their chefs directly to local farms for “farmto-table” freshness.

The company lets the couple know every Friday what will be available for harvest the following week. The menu may change daily based on what is in, to maintain their

GET FRESH: Black Eyed Susans head chef and co-owner Chris Sanchez shares the cooking philosophy that helped earn the restaurant a critics choice nod for best American cuisine in the state in NJ Monthly. reputation for optimal freshness. This goes for seafood as well.

“Last week we didn’t have crab cakes on the menu – which is one of our most popular sellers – because of storms down in the Gulf (of Mexico),” said Ashley. “We don’t serve them unless we have fresh, jumbo lump.

We won’t use pasteurized crab meat or canned crab meat.”

Tomatoes and cucumbers come from as close a source as a local Barnegat Light gardener, affectionately

referred to as “Tomato Jay” for his ability to grow them “just right.”

“This is just basically how we always cooked: fresh, seasonal, local.

We want the food to speak for itself.”

After both received classical French training at the Culinary Institute of America, the chefs take a minimalist approach to cooking to maintain the freshness of flavor, refusing to mask anything in butters or crèmes. Chris and Ashley both Continued on Page 62

The owners and operators of Mud City Crab House (Melanie and Eric Magaziner, Gina and Bob Nugent) and Jeremy Defillipis, co-owner of Jetty Life, have organized the event with the goal of raising $25,000 for the organization that helps cancer patients.

Last year when the first event was planned in about a month, the premier effort raised more than $17,000.

More about David’s Dream & Believe Foundation and its founder, David Caldarella of Manahawkin, can be found on the website davidsdreamandbelieve.org.

Caldarella will receive the Humanitarian of the Year award Sept. 27 from the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation.

Said Melanie Magaziner in a letter to friends about the upcoming dinner: “One of the most rewarding opportunities of working with David is just being able to pick up the phone and say to him, ‘I heard this person might need something.’

I think the moment he hears there is someone he might be able to help, he gets to work to find out what their situation is and what he can do.”

The local community has rallied to the Crabbin’ for a Cure fundraiser. Gold sponsors at $1,000 each are the Panzone’s Pizza family; and Dan Butkus of Campari America. Silver sponsors at $600 are the G. Anderson Agency; and Dr. Thomas Massa & Associates. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce donated $500.

O

ne hundred fifty years ago, the United States was in the midst of the great Civil War. Unlike the Revolution or the War of 1812, there would be no blood spilled on Ocean County soil or in its waters, but its young men would rally to the flag. Unlike the other two conflicts, for the most part the county and all of the state were united in the defense of the union.

In April 1861 after the firing on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln had called out 75,000 militia for 90 days to put down the rebellion. According to the Jersey Journal, “War is upon us. … Our citizens have, in common with those of every other place, been thoroughly waked up to these facts during the past week, and have endeavored to testify their devotion to the Union by hoisting flags of every size and kind: from the large banner floating gracefully from the tapering flag-staff, to the miniature stars and stripes decorating the harness of the horses on our streets.”

The New Jersey militia was poorly equipped and ill trained but eager for the glory of the battlefield. The state’s four regiments were the first to arrive for the defense of Washington, DC. A militia major wrote, “This afternoon (May 7), at short notice, the whole New Jersey Brigade was paraded and marched to the White House, where we were reviewed by the President, General Scott, and members of the Cabinet. It is seldom that four regiments of soldiers have appeared on parade together in this country, and it was a novel sight to the citizens of Washington.

Some thought the whole force here was out, so large appeared the numbers under arms, and they were incredulous when informed that they were all Jerseymen.”

Unfortunately, July brought disaster at Bull Run, as the 90-day troops ran for cover. Following the battle, the militia was sent home, and Lincoln called for volunteers to enlist for three years. The State Gazette responded to the call. “‘To arms! To Arms!’ and from every town and hamlet – from every hill and valley, will come the response, ‘We are ready!’

“We are no less confident of success now than before; and though the final triumph will doubtless be put off somewhat longer by the recent reverse, yes come it must and will, sooner or later.”

At Toms River, a 33-year-old lawyer, Thomas W. Middleton, began to raise a company of local men. This group would eventually become the nucleus of Company D, 9th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. Men with names such as Hazelton, Inman, Cranmer, Truex and Randolph answered the call. The Aug. 28, 1861, edition of the Ocean Emblem of Toms River reported, “We learn that Capt. Gale, of Mount Holly, is at Manahawkin recruiting. There is already two companies, numbering sixty or seventy each, the Stafford Greys and the Ocean Guards, in that locality, and we have no doubt but that they are ready to take up arms in defense of the Union.

We shall be proud to learn of their bravery on the field of battle.”

By October, the 9th New Jersey was undergoing training at Camp Olden, just outside of Trenton. One of the officers was a 24-year-old newspaper publisher from Trenton, James Madison Drake, who would win the Medal of Honor leading the 9th. The men of the Jersey Shore and pinelands were, according to Drake, already gaining a reputation.

“A range was established for target practice, and scores were made that would put many sharpshooters of the present day to blush. Many men in the Ninth, were able to hit the bull at two hundred yards and five hundred yards, having been accustomed to the use of the rifle from boyhood. So thoroughly proficient did a respectable percentage of the men become with the new rifle, that when the regiment went into camp at Meridian Hill, Washington, the crack shots of the Berdan regiment, encamped nearby, declined to compete with them.”

But the Army after Bull Run was to be a professional one, not the militia on a holiday lark. Drake remembered, “One morning in the early part of November, the regiment was

formed on the parade ground, and an order read by the adjutant that one W.J. was to be expelled for conduct unbecoming an American soldier. In a moment the ranks were opened, and the front rank faced to the rear, when an ear-piercing fife and a couple of drums, heard on the left of the line, announced that the doleful ceremony had commenced. The prisoner, with shaved head, pinioned arms and downcast look, marched between files of men carrying their rifles in an inverted manner so that he was encircled with bayonets. Not a sound broke the stillness of the beautiful forenoon, save the strains of the musicians who played the ‘Rogue’s march’ with astonishing vigor. As the fellow passed the men in either rank fastened their eyes upon him, but none looked with pity – all believing that he merited the signal disgrace, and that the command was better off without him. As he passed out of camp at the guard-house a number of hoodlums from Trenton saluted the recreant with contemptuous cries. Never again was it found necessary to carry out such a sentence in the Ninth regiment.”

Finally Drake and his men were ready.

“Wednesday, December fourth, 1861, will ever be memorable to the history of the men of the Ninth, as before daylight on the morning of that beautiful day we were awakened from our slumbers by the blasts of ten buglers, and summoned to prepare for a march. In half an hour we had partaken of coffee and dry bread – the last meal that hundreds of those brave boys were destined ever to enjoy in New Jersey – ‘striking’ tents, which were loaded upon our own wagons, formed line and were marching towards Trenton just as the sun came up over the sand hills to kiss and cheer us on our way.

“Despite the early hour hundreds of persons assembled at the point of embarkation to witness our departure.

“At Bordentown and Burlington the excitement among the people was intense.…

“Crossing the Delaware River at Camden, we landed in Philadelphia at dusk, marching direct to the Cooper refreshment saloon, where, after a refreshing wash, a meal that satisfied all wants was partaken of. …A Philadelphia paper, noticing the arrival of the Ninth, said: - ‘The men looked finely, as though amply fed and cared for, and are just that kind of material that the rebels will most have occasion to avoid.”

For some men the waiting was as bad as the fighting.

“December 14. – The regiment was aroused an hour before daylight, and provided with an early breakfast, and as there was an unusual stir at the surrounding camps, many surmised that the much talked-of and long-expected order to proceed to Virginia or some point where fighting Continued on Page 72

vost marshal, as it had been to several regiments by the colonels. Johnson being told that he might speak if he had aught to say, exclaimed in tremulous tones: ‘Boys, I ask pardon of Almighty God and of all men for what I did. May Almighty God pardon me, and keep all of you from such sin.’

“At a given signal by the Provost marshal, the executioners, who had been drawn up at a distance of six paces from the condemned, made ready to fire, and at a singular indication 8 of them discharged their carbines. Johnson clasped his hand over his breast and hurriedly exclaimed several words which were rendered indistinct by his groans. Some of the balls had taken effect but none were likely to prove fatal, and after an examination of the prisoner the Provost marshal ordered a reserve of four men to fire. The result was fatal, a ball literally tearing one of Johnson’s eyes from its socket and scattering his brains, and another shattering his jaw in a frightful manner. The dead body rolled from the coffin and fell heavily upon the sod.”

Those stories are certainly consistent with my own findings in respect of this mask. I have tried the mask on many people, both women and men, but middleaged women certainly show the best results.”

Blauch called the product Beaneath to emphasize the coffee beans at the heart of the formula, and to call attention to the company’s slogan: “At the root of everything good lies nature.”

As the men of the Ninth awaited their baptism of fire, the Ocean Emblem reported on the fate of a New York deserter.

“The procession having gone the rounds, it was drawn up in the center of a hollow square which had been formed by the military. The coffin was removed from the wagon, and Johnson seated upon it in full view of the whole assemblage.

Big Spiders Are Our Pals; Surf Sharing Gets Tough

A

s if this summer hasn’t already shown us some huge hatches of insects, good and bad, we’re seeing an amazing showing of orb-weaver spiders, along with the related garden spiders.

I’ve never seen so many.

These spiders are most easily recognized by the huge, scream-worthy webs they weave. Accidentally walking face-first into one of those webs – some over three-feet across – can send even a hardened arachnologist into a girly, run/scream fit. “Get it off! Get it off!”

Spook factor aside, orb-weaving and garden spiders are the kings of the insect-nabbing web realm. They’ve been dubbed “the dominant predators of aerial insects in many ecosystems.”

Note that well. They’re on our anti-insect side. And, no, they are not insects themselves. That’s grade school science stuff.

A strand cooler is the fact that orb-weavers build a new web every single evening. To begin, it jumps aboard a wind current and glides forth, shooting out silk until landing Supplied Photo on a nearby object. It then strands its KINGLY: After a stellar showing throughout much of the way down to the ground, climbs back to the starting point to create a “Y” summer, scrumptious kingfish are about to royally exit. shaped foundation to build (and build, and build) upon.

Technically, such sharking is a no-no – or After a hard night of sucking body juices from snagged insects, the orb spider takes the not-not.

SOAR-MASTER: A lone pelican glides on thermals rising from the surf. A relatively quiet year for this once-rare species, there were still enough around, primarily juveniles, to become a common sight for beachgoers. This one was featured on http://exit63.wordpress.com.

It seems that the theory behind the sandbagging layout is holding water, so to speak.

There are also many more sandbags coming to the township, meant to further buttress the current layout and to extend it southward. There is a testy section right past the bags when first driving on. The problem is almost exclusively during higher tides.

I’ve done a couple slow drives along the front beach from North Beach Haven to Brant Beach.

Despite all the swells and storms, the entire stretch of beach is a smooth and easy buggy go. Of course, on weekends, there remains no shortage of attitudenous beach sitters, leveling the evil eye at mobile anglers. I always kept it cool and wave, even in the face of ongoing glares and sneers. Much of that gnarliness is something these folks drag around 24-7, beach or no. Just shoot me if I ever get like that.

BACK CUT FRACAS: I went to Holgate over the weekend to find a major gathering packing it in along the cut in the back. There were a dozen buggies and five or six boats anchored on the beach. The boaters had a typical beach party going.

Sadly, the two user groups failed to play nicely together. A fairly fevered fight broke out between them, leading to some swings and accusations of sucker punches.

By the time I got on-scene (I had been fishing nearby), the main punches and shoves had been executed but it was still easy to tell the feuding parties, based on in-your-face scream-offs – during which the gals with the boat troops loosed some unlady-like language, provoked by some equally ugly wordage on the part of the fishing segment, consisting of generally younger guns.

Some pretty vile verbal volleys were exchanged.

I was aghast – as I giddily got my GoPro video going.

The guys on the boat side were seemingly serious provocateurs. In fact, based on a load of trusted witnesses, an older gentleman on the boat side threw the first punch – allegedly suckerish. He was eventually thrown in the drink.

OK, so maybe that was me yelling, ‘Hey, keep him in there until I get set up.” Not true. I’m a peacemaker – and a photographer.

The shout-off carried convulsively on as the boat folks slowly packed up and angrily left the beach, noisily.

I GoPro-ed the entire final portion of the wildness but missed that main lip-bloodying attraction. I only got the obscenity-soaked, ebb-and-flow of the post-fight flare-ups. The footage is not real exciting, unless you’ve always wondered what the blipped out words are on reality TV. I did my small part to lighten the air by trying to joke around – after-the-factish. I’ve seen that “lighten up” peacekeeping method work before, though it wasn’t overly effective this day. More

than just riled blood was flowing through veins.

Tougher for me, I knew just about everyone on both sides. Still, both sides backed down just long enough to allow the warring factions to separate.

While I had a hard time telling what the two feuding parties represented, it seemed like mainland versus Island and also boaters versus buggyists, even though there were mainlanders and Islanders on both sides. Go figure.

There have been conflicts at the back cut before in the past, but this one somehow escalated.

Here’s where I catch slack but this entire scene, albeit unsavory, was just a case of “folks will be folks.” Mixing it up often occurs when mixers are involved. I’ll always take some socks and shoves and swears over guns and knife gouges. My main distress was over younger kids being exposed to the vile verbal bombs. I’ve always hated the concept of collateral damage.

In this case, both sides were free firing upon young ears.

Hey, I might as well get all this unsavory stuff out of the way.

SURFERS v. SURFCASTERS: The month of September has been swell – and then some.

There has been wave after wave of waves. And waveriders have been cashing in on them.

As much as fall is fishing times, it is also surfing times. And therein lies a rub – as in rubbing the wrong way.

From now through November, the tenuous intermingling of surfers and surfcasters has/ does/will lead to angst-laden exchanges. Let’s hope cool heads prevail – and not as primary targets.

When it comes to waveriders vs. anglers, I’m the essence of that old hippie song verse, “Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together and not kill one another right now.”

(I never did know that song very well.)

For me, I’m plugging between a jetty rock and a hard spot. While I’m an avowed surfcaster, I spent just about my entire life dedicated to surfing – 24/7, in Hawaii. Though retired, waveriding still courses through my veins, still seeking a perfect line-up point to snake waves from “brother” surfers. I’m not the only soul who cruises the beachfront with duel intent.

A huge number of LBI-based surfers are also surfcasters – and vice versa.

I’m admittedly sympathetic to surfside anglers having their lines “buzzed” or paddled upon by waveriders. I’ve even been known to yell my frickin’ head off at arrogant paddlers – though it always ends with yelling, even when punkiness is a-paddle.

I’ll be the first to admit there is always the more disruptive “punk” segment within the surfing scene. I know. I was once one. As one unruly generational crop oldens and mellows (as Continued on Page 76

Fish Story Continued from Page 75 my crop did), a new batch of wild ones paddles out. It’s life, dude. Whadda ya gonna do?

Don’t say it.

To those very few militant surfcasters who might prescribe throwing eight ounces of lead at passing or board-sitting surfers, there will be hell to pay, often legal, should you make contact. Just try to convince a judge you were simply casting out and didn’t see the surfers sitting there.

By way of reminder, surfers have families –

often including dads, moms, uncles and aunts who fish. They’re going to know the truth behind any alleged “innocent” casts that clobbered their loved ones. Just like that, you have folks gunning for you. There goes any hope for a peaceful Island lifestyle. All because someone paddled over your fishing line?

By the by, the above scenario is based on an ugly “Cast at my kid, will ya!?” incident that went very badly for all families involved – with Hatfield-McCoy hatred still lingering decades later.

My suggestion: Be ye surfer or surfcaster, go ahead and get mildly pissed over infringements

F*** the concept of getting even. T’aint worth it.

BRANT BEACHERS SHINE: The famed Long Beach Island Fishing Club’s “World Series of Surf Fishing” took place Saturday in brisk, south wind conditions. Smaller blues lit up the scoreboard.

Over 35 teams participated, with LBI’s Brant Beach Rod and Reel club snagging a highly respectable 3rd-place, with 15 weighable fish – only one behind the total fish count of the first-place team, Fishin Fuzz, which I’m betting is a team of law enforcement types.

The Brant Beach team was anchored by Bill Montra, who became a bluefishing machine, taking eight of the team’s ten point-garnering tailors, including the second-largest blue of the entire contest: an 18.75-incher. Ray Curnew pulled in the team’s other two blues.

Important points also came via 1-point fish, classified as “others.” Ray Sullivan was something else in the “others’ realm, nabbing three points out of five points from “others.” Mike Kane and Ray C. took the other one-pointers.

The points represented the length of a fish.

Bill’s 18.75 tallied 18.75 points.

LBI’s Barnegat Heavers “B” Team also finished high in the World Series, with an 11thplace finish.

The Heaver boys managed 76.75 points, via six bluefish and one “other.” Bob Massa had three of those blues, while Jim Braak took two. The highest point getter, 17.00, was taken

by Joe T. To see more detail of the World Series of Surf Fishing, check out http://fishingderbyonline.com. Under “Recent Results,” left side of homepage, you’ll see it listed.

FISH CHATTER: The September bluefish presence is about normal for this time of year, showing mainly snappers and tailors. The one thing that makes no sense is the thinness of the tailor blues. I’ve caught dozens and they’re not nearly as chunky as they should be with all the bait around. My guess is the 70-degree-plus water temps have their metabolisms going a mile a minute. They’re burning off fat as fast as they down mullet, spot and spearing. The cooler the water, the slower bluefish burn off fat.

But why so many fat slammers in the “offshore” bluefish biomass?

Easy answer: The big blues ravenously feed in the warm surface waters then descend into very cool, deeper waters to slowly digest.

Even hyper bluefish occasionally hunker down, mainly during deep water times. There is no cool, deep-down water in close.

Holding to that subject, striped bass have slow metabolism rates, however, they also need to venture to cooler waters to summerover. They either go north or slide into deeper water off the Delmarva.

LOOKING METABOLICALLY AHEAD: One has to wonder if the unprecedented warm water now camped off New England could impact our fall bass run. Did northbound bass go even farther up, past Newfoundland, looking for comfortable quarters – meaning they’ll arrive here late? Also, might the bass be much thinner than usual when they get here, having dealt with fat-burning, warmer waters? Then again, with the glut of forage along the coast,

might arriving autumnal bass be bursting at the seams? Last week, a slew of striper hookups off New England show massively chunky stripers, though the first keepers hereabouts have been long and lean.

Yes, I get a tad excited about arriving bass seasons. You should, too. Then run out and join the Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic. It’s fun and keeps one of the last Island traditions alive. Go to http://www.lbift.com/ or check participating tackle shops: Surf City Bait & Tackle; Fisherman’s Headquarters; Jingles Bait & Tackle Shop; Oceanside Bait & Tackle.

The fluking continue to falter, both boat and beach. Again, it’s positively not over for the flattie presence. It’s conceivable they’re filled to the gills on mullet, rainfish and spot.

Those being caught are even fatter than they had been a few weeks back. I use the filleting technique that removed an entire side at a time. Please watch http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kZioI3b5KBQ – though I’d slow it down to avoid some of the meat missed by not following the bone structure a little closer.

A SHIRT OF SUPPPORT: I’d like to take a minute to urge all to buy a T-shirt to support the effort to build a Fishermen’s Memorial in B.L. It’s essentially in memory of a longtime commercial fishing buddy of mine, Jimmy Mears, who died last January in a tragic capsizing of the scalloping and monkfishing vessel Mandy Ness.

The Coast Guard investigated the possibility that the Mandy Ness was swamped and capsized by a large commercial vessel passing nearby.

Tracking down the only large vessel that had been near to the Mandy Ness, Coast Guard officials (using a chopper) boarded the vessel in question off Virginia but couldn’t conduct a thorough investigation. That led authorities to Houston, Texas, where the vessel docked, allowing investigators to look for any signs of a collision.

Unfortunately, a near miss – a passing close enough to capsize the commercial fishing boat – would not leave any telltale markings on either vessel.

Although the final report on what the USCG believes caused the capsizing of the Mandy Ness has been issued, it had not been openly released to the public.

Regardless of those findings, the loss of yet another fisherman – in this case one so wellliked by so many in our area – has bumped the West Atlantic to the top of the deadliest list of fishing grounds, exceeding even the Pacific’s “Deadliest Catch” zone.

The memorializing effort for Jimmy, being carried on by family and friends, seeks to place a monument in the state park area of Barnegat Light. It has been given the green light by the state but the need to raise big money now rises.

Please show support for all commercial fishermen through this effort.

T-shirts are in, available at Viking Outfitters, Inlet Deli, Barnegat Light Liquors and Lighthouse Marina, Barnegat Light. It is $20 for the shirts.

Donations can be made in person at Lighthouse Marina, 6th street and Bayview, Barnegat Light. See http://fishermensmemorial.wordpress.com/.
